Anthony Martial's wife Melanie joins Black Lives Matter protest in Paris as 20,000 people hit the French capital to rally over the deaths of Adama Traore and George Floyd, who both died in police custody

Anthony Martial's wife, Melanie, joined a huge Black Lives Matter protest in Paris on Tuesday as France fights back against the death of a black man in police custody.

The Manchester United striker's partner took to Instagram to share pictures of herself and a friend in the middle of the protest, which was attended by around 20,000 people.

Sparked by the death of George Floyd, the unarmed black man killed in Minneapolis last week after a white police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, the rally was also focused on Adama Traore, a French citizen who was arrested while riding on a bike with his brother in 2016.
