It seems plenty of Manchester United fans are worried about Anthony Martial’s Old Trafford future.
The French forward enjoyed an impressive debut season with the club, and thrived as United beat West Ham in the EFL Cup quarter-finals, but has seen his opportunities limited this year.
And José Mourinho has left Martial out of the squad for the semi-final second leg against Hull City, with Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard preferred either side of Zlatan Ibrahimović.
Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are both options from the bench, but Martial is nowhere to be seen.

While it’s not yet clear whether Martial is injured or whether he’s just been dropped, the reaction has been very strong.

United take a 2-0 lead into the second leg, and are in pole position to progress to the final against Southampton.
Hull, meanwhile, welcome new signing Lazar Marković into their matchday squad.
The Serbian, who has joined on loan from Liverpool, could make his debut from the bench.
