Jose Mourinho 'rejects Anthony Martial loan offers'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly ruled out a loan deal for forward Anthony Martial this month.

The 21-year-old has been linked with a switch to La Liga title challengers Sevilla in recent days but according to The Express, Mourinho is adamant that he will not lose any more key players this month following the sale of Memphis Depay to Lyon last week.

Martial was dropped for last weekend's 1-1 draw at Stoke City and has been forced to battle with Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford for a place in Mourinho's starting XI for much of this season.

The Frenchman is expected to earn a recall for the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final at Hull City tomorrow, however, as United look to build upon their 2-0 first-leg advantage.

Martial moved to Old Trafford from Lyon in September 2015 and has scored 13 goals in 44 Premier League appearances for the side.
