Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has left the pre-season tour of the United States to attend the birth of his second child.
Manager Jose Mourinho gave Martial, 22, permission to fly back from Los Angeles, where United will play AC Milan in the International Champions Cup on Wednesday but as per club insiders report, the move left boss Mourinho furious as the player had no permissions from him.
It is understood Mourinho is willing to sell the France international.
However, United do not want him to join a Premier League rival.
Martial, who also has a three-year-old daughter with his ex-girlfriend Samantha Jacquelinet, is desperate to leave Old Trafford and recently abandoned plans to move from a city centre apartment into a family home in Cheshire.
Mourinho is determined to sell Martial to fund new signings before the transfer deadline on August 9. United will demand £80million for a player who cost £36m when he arrived from Monaco in 2015.
