Anthony Martial told he's an "entitled nitwit" who is giving footballers a bad name

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has called Anthony Martial an "entitled nitwit" following his comments about former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

In an explosive interview with France Football, Martial, 26, criticised Mourinho for handing his No.9 shirt to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in July 2016. The Frenchman did eventually get his preferred jersey back three years later after being forced to wear the No.11.

Martial also slammed Mourinho for "talking about me in the press" - accusing him of playing games - and for signing Alexis Sanchez in January 2018. He believes Sanchez's arrival led to him being left out of France's World Cup squad in 2018, a tournament they won.
