It seems that he lives close to the hotel so he joins up later— abdo🇪🇬🇾🇪 (@abdoutd22) December 25, 2018
Man United fans are worried that’s the case after the United squad got together on Tuesday night at the Lowry hotel.
Martial was missing as his team mates all met up.
Why Martial wasn’t at the Lowry hotel
Some Man United fans have been quick to dismiss suggestions that Martial will miss the Huddersfield match.
It’s been claimed that Martial regularly misses the get-togethers at the Lowry hotel before matchdays because he lives so close to the venue.
The suggestion is that because Martial’s house is so close he’s allowed to turn up later.
