Anthony Martial’s wife has revealed the Manchester United striker was left ‘suffering’ during Jose Mourinho’s spell at Old Trafford and admitted she felt ‘trapped’ due to what she perceived the be the ‘injustice’ directed towards her husband.
Mourinho, who now coaches Tottenham Hotspur, was reportedly keen to sell the France international while in charge of Manchester United, but a move was blocked by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
The Portuguese manager, who has previously coached Chelsea and Real Madrid, was subsequently sacked by Manchester United chiefs and Martial has been restored to the starting line-up under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, scoring eight goals in 15 starts this season.
But his wife, Melanie Martial Da Cruz, has lifted the lid on what was a tumultuous time under Mourinho and revealed she used to purposefully avoid his ex-coach.
