Martial ‘annoyed’ to be left on the bench by Mourinho

Manchester United forward, Anthony Martial, has admitted he is ‘annoyed’ to be left on the bench this season, but has vowed to fight for his place.

The France international was an instant hit at Old Trafford, after joining from Monaco for big money, but has failed to hit it off this season.

Martial has only started seven Premier League games under Jose Mourinho.

“It is annoying to be on the bench, it is really annoying,” he told SFR Sport .

“But this is a test I have to get through. That’s the way things go when you are still developing as a player and it forms your mentality.

“It is difficult because the only thing you want is to get out there and help the team and you cannot do that when you are on the bench. But that is a choice I have to accept.

“I know that the people expect a lot from me, but perhaps they forget that I am still young.

“Everybody can think whatever they want and they can say what they want, that does not change anything for me.”
