Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been told to sell Anthony Martial “as quickly” as he can before he ends up getting him the “sack.”
That is according to Simon Jordan, who claimed that Martial has the “heart the size of a pea” and failed to live up to his potential at Old Trafford.
Martial’s future has been plunged into doubt in recent weeks amid transfer speculation linking him with Barcelona, Newcastle, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon.
