Manchester United yet to reach agreement in Anthony Martial contract talks

Talks between United and Martial's representatives are ongoing

Manchester United remain in talks with Anthony Martial and his representatives and are yet to reach an agreement over a new five-year contract.

United extended Martial's existing terms by 12 months until the summer of 2020 in December and it is understood that negotiations between the club and Martial's camp remain ongoing.

Martial appeared to have no future at Old Trafford under previous manager Jose Mourinho, who was willing to let the 23-year-old leave last summer.

As late as last month, Martial's agent Philippe Lamboley described himself as "very pessimistic" that a deal would be done, claiming the two parties were "far from an agreement".

Mourinho's sacking came just a day after those comments were made and Martial is one of several United players to have been rejuvenated by the appointment of caretaker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The winger has impressed as part of a fluid front three alongside Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, scoring once and assisting once in four appearances.

United remain hopeful of tying Martial down to new and improved terms but are yet to strike a deal with his representatives and talks are set to continue.
