Because he didn't start today?
Martial agent looking for a new club for him

- Start date
Not just because of today no. He said this about him the other day:
At the time I thought it sounded like there was a bit there to read between the lines, managers rarely use that sort of language “I wouldn’t be surprised if other teams targeted Anthony because he is a very good player.” for players they genuinely want to keep hold of. Almost like he’s inviting that interest.
Today we have got Cavani out, Rashford out, Sancho not match fit and he’s behind Greenwood at CF and Pogba and James wide forward. So what is he? 7th choice forward?
Okay.
I think today is just about fitness. He also said yesterday that he expects more from him this season. Certainly didn't sound like a player he thinks might leave. On him being 7th choice, maybe but I will wait to see how the season pans out. I fully expect him to move up the pecking order as the season goes on. Still think he's a better CF than Greenwood.
I’m not taking much heed from him talking him up. If we are looking to offload him we’d rather teams thought he was hungry and motivated than whatever iteration of him we’ve just had to endure.
They specifically asked about interest from Inter, you're reading into his comments too much I'd say.
I know he didn’t just say it from nowhere. I just think you look at Ole’s options and you look at other areas of the pitch and he’d bite your hand off for £50m to invest elsewhere.
If you want to read between the lines for something that wasn't even implied, you go right ahead.
Thanks mate.
Any time bud.
He also isnt match fit.
Good'en
Sell Martial, buy a CDM, move Greenwood into striker. Happy days.
He’s not doing a good job of it, it seems.
Needs to look harder and quick.
Can I help him? Got some time free this afternoon.
His agent will be looking for awhile after today...
Unfortunate thing is, no one will buy him for the money we want. Unfortunately, he's just taking up space in the squad and adds nothing.
He's not exactly in a hurry to leave when he's starting games for us!
Can we con someone into buying him?
Conte take him please
Ripping it up.
I'd say he's by far the most dislikeable player in the squad.
Lacks any sort of passion, interest or drive. A nothing player, a passenger. Get rid.

Hopefully his contract
Just managed to beat me to it
Note to Agent. Look harder.
Levy may be interested. Straight swap for Son ?
I'd happily see him gone on a free transfer. That's how bad he is for our team and the way we're trying to play.
A striker with no movement and who no longer has any pace or ability to beat a man with skill.
It's worth getting rid on a free just to get his daft wages off the books.

Martial's agent is as productive as he is. 
Unfortunately I doubt anyone would take him on a free cos of the wages he is on.
Err, we'd have to put up minimum 50M on top off Martial to get Son.
That would be a bargain really.
Maybe if we also added £50m
Realistically anything above 30M for current Martial would be awesome.
My thoughts too. Anyone offering £30m for Martial ….we should snap their hands off.
Tony Martial came from France
The English press said he had no chance
50 million down the drain

Joel Glazer is a muppet for being a massive fan of his and subsequently leading to Woodward giving him massive wages.
We sold Lukaku whonhas gone to chelsea for £97mil and will potentially lead them to a PL title and we kept Martial. Ole will regret this decision eventually.
The decision to sell Lukaku was the right one.
But Martial never should have been given the wages he has. Once Cavani/Rashford are both fit, he'll ride the pine all season and deservedly so.
That version of Lukaku was never winning us a title though? Are you conveniently forgetting how overweight, mentally unhealthy and just what a bad fit he was? It was the right thing to sell him. So bizarre how people are desperate to rewrite history.
I’ve never seen a player look more ready for Serie A or Ligue 1 than this fella now. Sauntering around to the exit door next summer. A more ruthless club would have cashed in and got rid this summer after a couple of seasons of slow decline.
