EPL: Why Anthony Martial left Man Utd training ground after four minutes

Manchester United striker, Anthony Martial spent just four minutes at the Premier League club’s training ground on Thursday morning.

The Frenchman arrived in his Mercedes G Wagon at 8.55am and left at 8.59am.

It so happens that Martial had mixed up his times with United’s players actually due to train on Thursday afternoon.

Training start times at United vary. On Monday, players reported at 12.30pm but on Tuesday it was 9am. On Thursday, players began arriving from about 11.30am.

United are preparing for Saturday’s return to Premier League action against Brighton at Old Trafford.

Martial, 27, started United’s last two matches – the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest and the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal prior to the international break.

In the Arsenal game, Martial was substituted off for new £72million signing Rasmus Hojlund, who is expected to take his place at centre forward when fully fit.
