And now the social-media-savvy striker has used Instagram to prolong the digging, it seems.
Unconfirmed rumours on Reddit claim that Martial ‘unfollowed’ United’s official Insta account.
However, another move on Instagram is what got our attention.
Martial shared a photo of himself on a boat, with the caption: “Captain Martial”, followed by a laughing emoji.
Is Martial joking about his position at Old Trafford? Or is this unrelated boat bantz?
