Anthony Martial 'tells agent to sign new Manchester United deal'

Anthony Martial has reportedly asked his agent to finalise negotiations regarding his new contract at Old Trafford.

Martial has spent the last three-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, but it has previously been claimed that the Frenchman had been keen to leave the club due to his relationship with Jose Mourinho.

However, the 23-year-old is regarded as a first-team regular under caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and according to The Mirror, it has led to the attacker changing his stance over his future.

Reports have previously indicated that Martial has been offered a new long-term deal, and it is now being said that the frontman wants to spent the next stage of his career at United.

Martial has started in five of Solskjaer's first seven games in charge of United, with the former Monaco man having only been used on a rotational basis under Mourinho.
