Anthony Martial has finally opened up about his supposedly “strained” relationship with manager Jose Mourinho.
The Manchester United starlet starred in the Red Devils’ 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Saturday, by bagging both the goals at Stamford Bridge. His display earned him an approving pat and an embrace from the gaffer on the touchline, along with some praiseworthy comments.
The United fanbase was left delighted by these aforementioned sights, as they indicated that things might finally be heading in the right direction as far as the France international’s relationship with Mourinho was concerned.
Martial had reportedly fallen out with the Portuguese tactician, and the former’s agent, Philippe Lamboley, confirming that the youngster was indeed unhappy at Old Trafford had only made the matter worse in the summer.

The 22-year-old has managed to score thrice in the previous two Premier League fixtures, and when asked about his recent goal-scoring form, he replied: “It has done me the world of good, of course.
