Anthony Martial: Manchester United forward denies Ralf Rangnick's claim he refused to play

Anthony Martial denied that he refused to play for Manchester United.

Martial didn't want to be in the squad after United only named eight subs with two goalkeepers.

Martial wants to leave United this month and has not featured since a 3-2 win over Arsenal on December 2, but he insists he is available for selection.

Anthony Martial denied the claim on his social media accounts.

"I will play for Man United no matter what," Martial said.

I have been here for seven years and I will never disrespect the club or the fans.

Martial didn't want to be in the squad for the game, according to the interim manager.

Sevilla only offered to pay half of Martial's wages.

If a club offers to pay them in full plus a loan fee, United would be encouraged to let him go on loan.

The shadow of former self has been cast onRashford.

Roy and Jamie discussed the alarming form of two of United's first-choice forwards.

Redknapp says that Sancho has a challenge to ignite his United career and that he wants the club to get to the bottom of the loss of form of Marcus Rashford.

Anthony Elanga was selected ahead of Ja'Acquista, who cost United £73m in the summer but only has one goal to his name this season.

When Elanga was replaced by Sancho 12 minutes into the second half, United missed out on his energy and intent on the left flank, as they allowed a two-goal lead to slip.

When asked if the young Swedish star is now ahead of the young Englishman in the pecking order, Rangnick said: "We've got so many games to play, I'm not thinking."

The manager has a difficult task in front of him in persuading him to pick him.

The highlights from the Villa's draw with Manchester United are free to watch.

"Sancho has a huge challenge on his hands," Redknapp said.

He made an impact when he came on the field. When you come on, you want to make a bit of magic, but in this case, he's come on and the team has drawn 2-2.

He's low on confidence. He's a shadow of the player we saw in the Bundesliga. He's good in close areas but I worry that he doesn't have the speed to run past people.

That's what Elanga did today. He chased a ball that United played down the line. Sancho doesn't do that. That is a real worry for him. It's a big challenge for him. He needs to say that he's up for the challenge and that he can get back in the team.

It's a huge challenge for him and Marcus.

In the 2-2 draw, he was missing through an injury, but his form has been in the spotlight recently. The England star, who has managed just three goals for his club this season, failed to make an impact in the FA Cup third-round tie at Old United against Villa before being taken off with less than five minutes left. It was the latest in a series of poor performances from the forward.

The situation surrounding Marcus Rashford was picked up on by Roy Keane, who has called for the club to make sure the player has the right environment to help him through this tough period of his career.

He asked what had happened to Rashford. Manchester United needs to get to the bottom of the situation.

The issues surrounding the players at Manchester United, as well as whether or not manager Ralf Rangnick can pull them out of their poor run of form, are addressed by Jamie Redknapp and Roy Keane.

When they are working with young players, that's their responsibility. Over the past few years, Rashford has done amazing things on and off the field, but clearly something is amiss.

I watched him on Monday and nobody was home. The kid is lost. Is it just confidence? There might be something going on outside. The senior players have to help him. There is a lot that needs to be fixed at United.

Are the senior players who should be setting an example for the younger players looked at by the likes of Sancho, Rashford and Greenwood? Maybe all of them are not. The young players might not be able to do a lot of extra training. These are the details that young players need to improve on.

You're going to notice if the culture isn't right at the club. There is something missing at United. There are too many loose ends.
