Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has been asked to train away from the first-team squad as his struggles continue.

Martial has not tasted action for Manchester United since the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on December 9.

Martial's absence remains a mystery, and Erik ten Hag has provided minimal details about his condition, leaving fans and observers in the dark about the nature and extent of the issue.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Martial has returned to Carrington but has struggled to regain full fitness. 

Consequently, he has been directed to train separately from the main group.

It's crucial to note that this decision is not a punishment for Martial; rather, it stems from his physical condition not being considered robust enough to meet the demanding requirements of Ten Hag's regular training sessions with the full squad.
