Anthony Martial's agent has insisted his client will not be leaving Manchester United this summer.

The French forward had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after struggling for regular gametime under Jose Mourinho.

However, Philippe Lamboley - who represents Martial - claims there is 'no reason' to suggest a departure is imminent. 

Anthony Martial's agent has ruled out a summer move for his client from Manchester United

He told Journal du Dimanche: 'Martial has two years left and there is no reason for him to leave Manchester today.

'If [executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward tells me they want him to leave, things are different.

'But that is not what he told me during our last meeting.'

Martial only scored eight goals in 42 appearances for Jose Mourinho last season

Martial, who was signed for an initial £36million from Monaco in 2015, netted just eight goals in 42 appearances across all competitions last season.

In April, Mourinho hinted that he wanted to see an improvement from his young forward.

He said: 'Do I think Anthony is player with great potential? Yes. Do I think he can play successfully for me? Yes. But he needs to give me things that I like.'
