Martial remains unyielding, despite Mourinho willing to give the youngster a chance at glory.
It is understood Mourinho’s relationship with the Frenchman iss staggering and steps to mend it has slowed.
The forward was fined for his uncharacteristic behaviour during United’s pre-season tour for the birth of his second child.
And why he continues to press for a move away from Old Trafford, one United has denied several times in their bid to keep him tied, boss Jose Mourinho stunned the media, saying he hopes Martial will extend his stay at the outfit.
After a confrontation with Paul Pogba, Mourinho insisted those wishing not to give their best should march out Old Trafford’s exit door.
But this time, Mourinho hopes Martial will stay at Old Trafford, as he is prepared to put whatever differences they have behind.
Martial joins Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw and Juan Mata whose contract are running down, that the Portuguese wants to remain at the club.
Mourinho said: “I hope they will stay.
“We had a similar conversation last season about Marouane (Fellaini) and I was always saying ‘I hope he stays, I believe he stays’.
“I say the same and I hope that they stay. Of course, I am happy with the players.
