Martial has had a turbulent season under the Special One after scoring just four times in 18 appearances.
The 21-year-old still has a lot to learn but he proved his goal scoring talent after bagging a brace in a 4-1 win over West Ham in the EFL Cup.
And it has come as a surprise that Mourinho has chosen to ditch the forward out of the squad all together, after being involved in their last four matches.
