However, Martial has now proved his critics wrong after scoring a brace as Manchester United dumped West Ham 4-1 to book their EFL Cup semi-final place.

Man Utd star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for the Red Devils inside two minutes after getting on the end of an intelligent backheel pass before chipping the ball past Adrian.

After the hour mark the Frenchman made it 3-1 for United as he picked Valencia’s low cross before guiding it into the back of the net with a side footed effort. United clinched their fourth goal after an intelligent move from Ander Herrera in the box picked Zlatan, who comfortably tapped the ball home.

According to foottheball sources, PSG was keen on securing Martial’s signature even before he joined Manchester United for £36m from AS Monaco in 2015.

And now the Ligue 1 giants have reignited their interest in the player after he went down the pecking order at Manchester United after Mourinho’s arrival at Old Trafford.

martialA source close to Man Utd, said: “It is well known PSG are very keen if the club does consider selling.”

“He has been dropped recently against Feyenoord and West Ham and has generally struggled for form.”

Last week, Mourinho had warned the out-of-favour United player that he has to step up his game in order to survive at Old Trafford.

“Anthony was OK for Feyenoord. I cannot play with 12 players. The players have to win their positions.”

“They are friends, they are colleagues who work together every day but in the end they compete between themselves to have more chance to play.”
