Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is not a happy man following the latest development at the club.
Reports claim that the France international is upset after the Manchester club reallocated his squad number 9 to new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic without informing him of the decision.
The 20-year-old has gone as far to unfollow the club on Twitter and Instagram. Martial will be wearing the number 11 jersey for the next season.

Paris-based RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi had provided his seal of approval to the reports by claiming that striker is indeed unhappy with his employers.
He also added that Martial was not informed of the change by the club and that has led to the striker unfollowing United on social media.
Manchester United gave Zlatan Ibrahimovic the #9 shirt without informing Anthony Martial that they were taking it away from him !

It’s not about his number. It’s a question of principle. Take a look at Martial’s Facebook and you will understand ! https://t.co/1pq4T0Oicb

I can see why Martial is annoyed but there’s no need to unfollow the club on social media, just talk about it with Jose!

Totally unprofessional by @ManUtd with all this shirt number talk… Although immature from Martial as well no need to ‘unfollow’ #mufc
