Anthony Martial
Erik Ten Hag has blocked the sale of Anthony Martial by Manchester United this summer, The Sun reported.
And new manager Ten Hag now sees the French striker as an important member of his squad.
United were ready to listen to offers for the out-of-form player after farming him out on loan to Sevilla last season.
But Ten Hag told club chiefs he wants to keep him and is convinced he can get him firing again.
The Dutchman also had a heart-to-heart chat with Martial, 26, who has been in inspired form on their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
He has scored in all three of the Red Devils’ friendlies, which they have won 4-0 against Liverpool, 4-1 over Melbourne Victory and 3-1 against Crystal Palace.

Martial has subsequently been a changed man around the United camp with a spring in his step having been given this massive vote of confidence by Ten Hag.
The Dutchman believes he can not only get him back to his best scoring form – which came in 2019-20 when he hit 23 goals – but make him even better.
Martial, who has two years left of his current contract and the option of a further year, has been playing as the main striker on tour rather than in a wide role that he formerly occupied for United.
He is now set to start the season there with Cristiano Ronaldo’s future still up in the air.
