Agent rubbishes claims of Ten Hag rift for Man Utd attacker Martial

Manchester United outcast Anthony Martial's agent has felt compelled to come to the defense of his client.

The Frenchman is said to be training alone at United to build up his fitness.

Martial has not been in the appropriate shape since catching an illness in early December.

"What is said about him is completely false," Philippe Lamboley told Sky Sports News.

"He was not excluded from the group and he has no problem with the coach.

“Anthony has been in Manchester for nine seasons and if he was not a great professional then he would not have been at the club for so long.

"He is simply going to undergo a small operation on his adductors, which he should have done for a while and which did not allow him to be 100 per cent, so he will do it now."
