Anthony Martial explains why he felt 'disrespected' by Jose Mourinho at Manchester United MUFC
, saying he was hurt by the manager’s decision to give his no.9 shirt to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016, and said he felt ‘disrespected’ by the Portuguese boss who said in 2018 that the striker lacked ‘maturity’ and remarked that he and a number of his Red Devils teammates acted like ‘spoilt kids’.
“[Mourinho] was talking about me in the press, little phrases, a bit like he had done with Karim Benzema at Real Madrid. He likes these games, but he also knows who he is doing it with. He knows that I am 20 years old then and that if I say something, it is I who will be the young person who lacks respect.”United], I was the team’s top scorer in the first part of the season, [Mourinho] brought in Alexis Sanchez and I hardly played anymore.
“People don’t know it, I couldn’t accelerate during the four months following the COVID-19 season. The coach tells me he needs me, so I play. But, given my game, if I can’t accelerate, it becomes very complicated all the same. Martial was more positive about Van Gaal, though, saying he appreciated the time and effort the veteran Dutch coach put in to help the Frenchman improve his game.“I love to learn and when a gentleman like him takes the time to make me watch videos of my matches in his office to explain things to me, that’s the best.“I told him that I scored twice, so what’s the problem? He wanted to talk to me about running angles and movement zones.
