Anthony Martial has hit back at claims from Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick that he refused to play against Aston Villa.

Rangnick said the Frenchman had not wanted to be part of United's squad for their 2-2 draw at Aston Villa.

But Martial took to social media to deny those allegations, insisting he would 'never disrespect the fans' after a long career at Old Trafford to date.

He wrote on his Instagram story: "I will never refuse to play a match for Man United. I've been here for 7 years and I never disrespected and will never disrespect the club and the fans."

Martial wants to leave United, with Sevilla interested in signing him this window.
