Anthony  Martial has been offered a new five-year deal by Manchester United. The French forward reckons that he can outstay Jose Mourinho – despite United’s boss not wanting him at the club – and is now considering the proposal.

Sources revealed last week how Martial had performed a sensational U-turn on his future and has no intention of pushing for a move.

While nothing has been agreed, he could now sign fresh terms of around £130,000 a week for four years – with the option to extend for another 12 months. His current deal runs until the summer of 2020 although United can trigger an extra year.

Jose Mourinho slammed Martial for not returning to United‘s pre-season tour following the birth of his son and later confirmed the forward had been fined.

The 22-year-old has only made one appearance this season and was subbed off after an hour of the shambolic defeat to Brighton.

Martial, along with Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, is considered to be central to United’s future by Woodward and his allies and they were unwilling to entertain the idea of selling the player signed from Monaco by Louis van Gaal, Mourinho’s predecessor, in 2015. So far he has cost them £44 million of a projected £61 million fee.

Philippe Lamboley, Martial’s agent, announced in June that the player wanted to leave Old Trafford but that stance has now softened and it is unlikely that he would be countenancing staying at the club if he did not feel he could outlast Mourinho.

Martial was fined about £180,000 – two weeks’ wages – last month after reputedly leaving United’s pre-season tour of the US without permission in order to attend the birth of his second child. However, those close to Martial suggested the player did have permission and was dismayed to be fined.
