Anthony Martial is set to hand incoming Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag a headache before the Dutchman's appointment is even confirmed.

Ajax boss ten Hag, 52, met with United bosses last month to talk about becoming their new manager and is now set to take the job on a permanent basis, with a new-look United set to take shape for next season. But a player who is unlikely to play a big part is Martial, who joined Sevilla on a loan deal for the remainder of the season in January.

In six league appearances afforded to the United loanee so far at the Spanish club, the forward has failed to score and has looked less and less threatening with every week. He has provided one assist but it has been a hugely underwhelming impact at Sevilla for the Frenchman, especially in the context of plenty of fanfare regarding his arrival in La Liga.

It was the Frenchman's agent that convinced him of the project at Sevilla but that plan has gone from "bad to worse", as outlined this week by Spanish media. Following on from his lack of impact, Martial will not be retained by Sevilla – who will allow him to re-join United this summer.
