Following the reports that Manchester United star Anthony Martial is ‘unhappy’ with the club’s decision to hand the number nine shirt to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the story has now taken a new twist. Some fans of Premier League rivals Arsenal have been piling pressure on club boss Arsene Wenger to sign the ‘troubled’ forward who scored 17 goals in all competitions for the English giants.
Martial is reportedly unhappy with Man United’s decision to hand over the number nine shirt to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The club recently announced the provisional squad numbers for the 2016/17 season, and Martial has been allocated the number 11 shirt, which was previously owned by Adnan Januzaj.

Reports in England suggest that if the cold-war between the two parties is not solved anytime soon, it could lure the former Monaco man out of Old Trafford. Given that Arsenal are in dire need of a proven forward, the club’s fans are already relishing the chance to sign the 20-year-old. Here are some of the best tweets:
