da betway: According to the Evening Standard, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has lost patience with Anthony Martial, rated at £58.5m by Transfermarkt.
What’s the word?
da dobrowin: If this truly is Mourinho’s current stance of Martial, the French attacker’s future at Old Trafford must be in doubt – which may open the door for the Red Devils’ Premier League rivals to make a move for the 22-year-old.

Martial has struggled for regular starts under the Portuguese boss and – having lost his place in the France international set up and missed out on the summer’s World Cup triumph – may feel that a move is necessary to revive his ailing career.
Should the opportunity present itself, Arsenal ought to make sure that they are at the front of the queue to snap up Martial’s signature.
A deal a long time in the making
When Alexis Sanchez joined United it was Martial that Arsenal initially wanted to see coming the other way, as reported by the Daily Star. It is clear that the Gunners are admirers of the Frenchman’s talents, with former boss Arsene Wenger admitting in 2015 he wanted to sign him but Monaco had told him he was not for sale.
Whilst the North London club are already well stocked with attacking players, the chance to sign an unsettled Martial from their rivals may just prove too good to let slip. If Unai Emery could get the forward back to his best it would also be an excellent bit of business by the capital city outfit.
With Danny Welbeck currently in the final year of his deal with the club, Arsenal could soon find themselves in the market for a left-sided attacker. Martial would certainly represent a major upgrade on the England international.
If given the chance, the Gunners should be bold and go all out to finally bring Martial to the Emirates Stadium.
