• Anthony Martial was not named in the Manchester United match day squad for their Premier League game against Tottenham
  • The Frenchman who last played against Everton seems to be out of favour under United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
  • Martial’s wife Melanie has taken to social media in support of her husband claiming he was not injured as the manager earlier claimed

Melanie, the wife of Manchester United striker Anthony Martial, has taken Ole Gunnar Sokskjaer to the cleaners for benching her husband yet again in the Premier League, Mirror reports.

The Red Devils who were thoroughly beaten 5-0 at home by Liverpool put behind their poor performance of last weekend to defeat Tottenham 3-0 on Saturday.

And yet again, Martial was not named in the matchday squad, with strikers Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford all finding the back of the net at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The last time Martial featured for the club was earlier this month when he was on the score sheet against Everton.

And since then, the Frenchman has been overlooked but the United manager earlier claimed he was on the verge of returning.

Metro reports that his wife, Melanie, claims the former Monaco man has been fit and available for selection.

She was asked by a fan of Instagram if Martial was injured and replied:

“He’s completely fine. He only had food intoxication for two weeks. He never had a pubalgia [groin issue] as announced last week!”

Melanie also posted a picture on Saturday of the United forward on an exercise bike with a cryptic message that read: “Never Give up”
