The Frenchman has been linked with a new deal.
Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is reportedly considering signing a new long-term contract with the club much to the delight of some Red Devils’ fans, many of whom believe it signifies the end of Jose Mourinho.
According to the Times, the Frenchman is considering signing a new 5-year-deal at Old Trafford as he believes he can outlast Mourinho at the club.
It has been a turbulent start to the season for the United boss, who has seen his side lose two of their opening three Premier League matches this season and stormed out of a press conference after the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday evening.
The Daily Mail has reported that players and staff at United believe the Portuguese could be sacked if his team lose to Burley on Sunday, a move which would benefit Martial, who has often been a target of his criticism and has fallen out of favour at United.
The 22-year-old, who has only got one year left on his current contract – although United can extend it by a further month, looked destined to leave the club earlier this summer.
Martial grabbed 11 goals and nine assists in 45 appearances for United last season but looked as if he might have a greater impact before the arrival of Alexis Sanchez, who greatly reduced his game time.
Martial has appeared just once for the Red Devils this season, but clearly remains a firm favourite of some United fans, many of whom took to Twitter to express their joy at the reports over the new contract.
