Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag addresses Anthony Martial's reaction to being subbed vs Bournemouth

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has played down suggestions of a rift between himself and Anthony Martial after the latter went straight down the tunnel after being substituted during Saturday's 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

The Frenchman was withdrawn just before the hour mark at the Vitality Stadium and was replaced by Wout Weghorst. In truth, it was a harsh decision on Martial as he had been the most threatening of United's four attackers up until that juncture.

He started through the middle for the second Premier League game running after scoring in the 2-0 win over Wolves seven days earlier and was supported by Antony and Jadon Sancho either side of him. He cut a frustrated figure after being taken off and he headed straight down the tunnel opposed to sitting on the substitutes bench alongside his teammates.
