      by

      As reported by The Athletic, Martial has rejected opportunities to move during this transfer window as he looks for a bigger payday as a free agent.
      And according to The Mirror, Ten Hag may look to bring in a forward he has worked with before in Brian Brobbey, 21.
      The United boss handed Brobbey his Ajax debut back in 2020 and would be keen on him as a summer signing.
      While Ten Hag wants to bring in a forward in January, the club are likely limited by FFP to only bring one in on loan – ruling out a move for the Dutch forward.

      United scouts will continue to track the player ahead of a possible summer move when Martial leaves as a free agent.
      Arsenal, who have also been looking for a forward in this market, have also taken a look at Brobbey.
      Brobbey scored six goal on his debut season for Ajax in 2020 before leaving to join RB Leipzig for free.
      After failing to score in his 14 appearances for the German side he was loaned back to Ajax in January 2022 before signing for them permanently.

      His 12 goals on his return helped Ajax and Ten Hag to their last Eredivisie title.
      Ten Hag reportedly instructed United to enquire over the signing of Brobbey when he joined United in the summer of 2022, however he re-signed permanently for Ajax after they exercised his £16million buy-back clause.
      It wouldn’t be the first time United have signed a player Ten Hag has managed before, and fans aren’t too happy about that prospect.
      The Dutchman brought in Antony for £80m shortly after joining the club and instructed the club to sign Sofyan Amrabat on loan last summer and both have fallen well below expectations.
      Lisandro Martinez also played for Ten Hag at Ajax and has been good on the whole, but Tyrell Malacia less so.
      On the Brobbey links, one fan on Twitter said: “Keep this man away from the transfers man.”
      Another wrote: “He’s signing another flop.”
      Brobbey has eight goals and four assists in 15 Eredivisie games this season. More

      Sancho had a huge fall out with Erik ten Hag and refused to apologise to himCredit: Getty
      Sancho is looking to revive his career after spending four months in exile at Manchester United.
      He has not played any football since his public fall out with Ten Hag.
      Sancho was left out of the squad for United’s trip to Arsenal in September with the boss citing his “performances in training.”
      The attacker then took to social media and claimed he was made a “scapegoat” by Ten Hag.
      He then refused to apologise and was banned from training and all first-team facilities.
      Sancho returns to Dortmund after spending four years there from 2017 to 2021.
      The fans’ favourite scored 50 goals and got 64 assists in 137 games, earning him a £73million move to Man Utd.
      But he has suffered a nightmare at Old Trafford, struggling to hit top form as he found the back of the net just 12 times in 82 games.
      The 23-time capped England star also managed a paltry six assists.
      Ex-United star Louis Saha slammed him as one of the club’s “biggest transfer failures” ever when speaking to Paddy Power.
      Sancho’s Red Devils contract runs until 2026 and his parent club are reportedly paying £100,000 of his weekly £290,000 salary while he is in Germany.
      Dortmund supposedly do not have an option to buy included in the loan deal.

      But Old Trafford sources say representatives from Marseille remain in touch with United over the chance of a loan move for Martial during this January transfer window.
      However, any deal relies on the player being willing to go back to his homeland, which could prove to be a sticking point.
      Our source said: “Interest remains high in Anthony.
      “His stock may be low at Manchester United but there is interest among clubs in Europe for him.

      “Marseille are at the front of the queue and are in touch with United about taking Anthony on loan in January. 
      “The problem is the player himself.
      “As things stand, he is planning on seeing his deal out and then reconsidering his options in the summer.
      “Anthony sees his next move as crucial, so he has no plans to rush into making any decisions over his future.”

      Martial, 28, is out of contract at the end of the season and Erik ten Hag stunned fans recently by claiming that United were in talks with the forward over a new deal.
      They have the option to trigger a 12-month extension to his current contract.
      The Dutchman said: “We are talking with Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial.
      “That is an internal discussion between the club and the player.”

      But contrary to Ten Hag’s comments, reports suggest the Red Devils are planning to part ways with the Frenchman after nine years at Old Trafford.
      The former Lyon and Monaco attacker has scored just 12 Premier League goals over the past three-and-a-half seasons – including one in 2023-24 – and it seems that United have finally run out of patience with him.
      The club’s preference would be to sell him this January and recoup some money rather than let him leave on a free in the summer.
      But this also depends on whether United can sign a replacement.

      Marcus Rashford should be setting an example for Man Utd team-mates… instead he was just walking around, slams club icon

      The forward set up Diogo Dalot’s opener and played a big role in the the attack that led to a penalty-kick that Bruno Fernandes converted to seal an important win.
      However, Sharpe insists the England international is still far off last season’s stunning form that led to a staggering 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 appearances.
      The former midfielder can’t explain what led to that dip in form that has only seen the 26-year-old registering a mere three goals and six assists in 25 matches this term.
      However, the ex-England international wasn’t happy with Rashford’s lack of “intent” and “purpose” in the first few minutes of the match.

      The 52-year-old also criticised the United star for “strolling” when he should have been playing quickly.
      Sharpe told SunSport on behalf of Fruityslots.com: “Last season, he was unbelievable.
      “He was sort of a shining light when the manager came in and this season he doesn’t quite seem to have got up to pace.
      “I don’t know whether it’s a confidence thing, whether he’s got something going on off the pitch that’s concerned him a little bit. But he doesn’t seem as focused as direct.
      Most read in Football
      “I watched him last night and you know, after four or five minutes he touched the ball three or four times and not once did he sprint at the full-back or sprint in the game and [after] his first touch he stood someone up and tried to do a trick.
      “And the guy’s tackled him [to send the ball out for a] throw in and Marcus Rashford just turn around and just stroll to get the ball and you’re thinking you know, [it’s] an FA Cup tie away at Wigan.
      “The fans are going to be up there, the team will be up for it, Man United need to impose themselves, they need to play quick, they need to play with some authority. And just to walk towards the ball…
      “You want them to declare intent and tend to show purpose and just to walk off the pitch… I don’t think lazy is the right word….

      “I don’t know whether it was a bit of arrogance or whether he’s lacking in confidence or what it is, but he just doesn’t seem to be going past players.
      “He seems to be second-guessing himself at times when he’s squared up two players. He’s an unbelievable player with so much ability.”
      Nevertheless, Sharpe is confident Rashford will “turn it around” eventually.
      However, such an elite player needs to set an example for his team-mates every time he’s on the pitch.
      Sharpe added: “I’m sure he can turn it around. But we could do it internally and he’s one of the senior players now and you need to set an example for everyone else.
