"Martial free to go to Paris"

Anthony Martial joined Manchester United in 2015 from Monaco. His current contract runs until summer 2019 and he has been already linked with a move during this transfer window to another club.

His coach, Jose Mourinho, said a few months ago it would be mistake to sell Martial, however, it seems like he has changed his mind and says the 21-year-old is allowed to leave.

"Normally, I take one of the (left out) players to prevent any problem in the warm-up," Mourinho tols Skysports.

"But we don't have many days off, so I like to give the (other) players some freedom to choose if they need a weekend off when they are not selected. If, for him, it was better to go to Paris, that's completely fine.

"For the weekend, if nothing happens in terms of injuries, I'm going to play (Sergio) Romero and put Joel (Castro Pereira) on the bench.

"David de Gea will be free and if he wants to go to Spain and enjoy two days, he has to go. I give the players this freedom of choice, so no problem at all with Anthony to go to Paris."
