Report: Jose Mourinho, Ed Woodward on 'Collision Course' over Anthony Martial

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has reportedly "made a new plea" to Ed Woodward to sell Anthony Martial this summer, putting him on a "collision course" with the executive vice-chairman.

According to Jeremy Cross of the Daily Star, Mourinho wants Martial gone by the end of the month in order to bolster the funds available to him in January, but Woodward does not want to sell the Frenchman, whom he sees as a "long-term investment."

The pair are said to have a fractious relationship after the club did not meet Mourinho's demands in the transfer market this summer and their latest clash over Martial could heighten tensions further.
