Manchester United forward Anthony Martial's agent has accused club Manchester United of
"disrespecting" the young star by handing the No9 Jersey to Zlatan Ibrahimovic upon his arrival at the club according to BBC sports.
Anthony Martial who arrived at the club from Monaco was given the No9 Jersey, however following the arrival of Ibrahimovic at Old Trafford, the young star was handed a new Jersey-No11. This has provoked Martial's agent, Philippe Lamboley who said the change of Jersey number has affected his client's performance. Giving the reason as to why the young star is struggling under Morinho this season.
"I'm not going to lie to you. Yes, it got to him. Yes, it surprised him. Yes, he was disappointed… for two days," Lamboley told RMC Sport.
"But he's professional. He knew how to get back into things straightaway. Personally, I find that decision out of order and disrespectful to my player. I told Manchester United's board that. You just don't do it.
"So we accepted it, we turned the page, but we didn't rip it up."
Although Philippe Lamboley has condemned any suggestions of a grudge between the Player and Morinho as there may seem to be.
"They have a very professional relationship. I am sure that Jose Mourinho will know how to bring the best out of Anthony like Louis van Gaal did before him," he added.

"He is very happy at United. He is not smiling all the time but that's part of his personality. People who know him well know that he is a smiling, open and warm guy. He is very attached to the fans who have welcomed him so nicely.
"He has only one ambition: to have a great season and win titles with United. What he has accomplished already is amazing, he is only starting his career. And I promise you the best is to come."
