Martial's omission will see the player, once heralded as a wonderkid, leave Old Trafford after scoring just twice this season, once in the Premier League.
In total, Martial has played 209 times for the Red Devils, scoring 63 goals and assisting a further 27 after joining from Monaco in 2015.
He signed for United when he was 19 and stood out as one of the most exciting youngsters in the world, introducing himself with a brilliant goal against Liverpool when Luis van Gaal I was in charge.
The striker finished his first campaign with 17 goals in all competitions, but only scored four goals in the Premier League the following campaign under Jose Mourinho.

It remains to be seen where Martial will move next, although a return to Monaco could be the most likely option.
