Five minutes into his Manchester United workout, Anthony Martial reportedly fled.
Martial had wanted to win over Erik ten Hag in the 23/24 season after what has been a difficult time with injuries at United.
The Frenchman started the last two games for the Red Devils, a 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest and a 3-1 loss to Arsenal.
Martial was unable to make a difference in either game as he failed to score or assist.
Against Forest, he was substituted after 60 minutes, and against Arsenal, he was replaced after 67.

Martial’s possibilities may now be limited as a result of United’s hefty summer transfer window purchase of Rasmus Hojlund.
The Daily Mail claims that on Thursday morning, five minutes after arriving at the club’s training facility, Martial was seen departing.
The 27-year-old was observed driving his Mercedes G Wagon into the team’s Carrington training facility, but he was soon seen driving it out again.
Due to this, there are worries that Martial may sustain another injury before United’s encounter against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
However, the Manchester Evening News said that Martial left after only five minutes because he was informed that training will take place later in the day.
Since moving to United from AS Monaco in 2015 for a rumored £36 million transfer price, Martial has found it difficult to live up to the hype.
He has currently made 301 appearances for the Old Trafford team and has scored 88 goals in all competitions.
Rio Ferdinand, a former United defender, recently expressed his own displeasure with Martial’s performance in a speech.
On his FIVE YouTube channel, he claimed: “I know for a fact that when Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff entered and saw Martial up close and personal, they were like, “We can see why every manager rates him.
“Because he has world-class talent but struggles to put it all together.”
Anthony Martial is very gifted, but he needs to perform consistently, just like Man Utd’s No. 9s do, said Ferdinand. There are no days off for them. He always falls off, regardless of his fitness level or stance. He has a crazy ability, which is so disheartening and upsetting.
