Man Utd striker passed up loan move

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial turned down the chance to return to Lyon on deadline day, according to L’Equipe.

The 25-year-old’s representatives held talks with the French club over a loan deal, but he opted to stay at Old Trafford.

Martial struggled for form in front of goal last season and has made an underwhelming start to the 2021-22 campaign, but still has three years left to run on his current contract.
