I lost my love for football in Manchester: United outcast Anthony Martial opens up on why his time at Old Trafford turned sour... and how he is now thriving on loan at Sevilla

There's something a little different about Anthony Martial as he sits down at Sevilla's training ground to chat about life away from Manchester United. He's smiling for a start.

Those who know Martial well at United would say this is nothing unusual. His mood behind the scenes is said to differ from the image of a sullen Frenchman whose body language on the pitch often comes across as less-than-positive.

'Horrible' was how former United striker Dion Dublin described it after a Carabao Cup defeat to West Ham in September, and there are times when you wonder just how much Martial actually likes playing football.
