Anthony Martial's representative has felt the need to defend his client amidst rumours of a rift with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag which has left him frozen out of the side.
Martial has been absent from United's starting XI since the 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth on December 9, with the club providing no official explanation for his absence. Speculation arose that Ten Hag had ousted the Frenchman from the first-team as a disciplinary measure - but this has now been refuted.
