Erik Ten Hag and Anthony Martial were spotted going against each other during Manchester United's Premier League defeat to Newcastle United.
The French striker was given an opportunity to start against Newcastle United ahead of Rasmus Hojlund, who was on the bench.
Martial failed to build on his previous performance in the Premier League, with the manager visibly shouting at the French striker for not contributing anything to the squad despite playing until the 60th minute.
Martial failed to track Newcastle defender Fabian Schar's run as he emerged from the back and played the ball to Kieran Trippier.
Trippier subsequently gave the ball to Miguel Almiron, who shot the ball wide as Manchester United struggled to contain the Newcastle attack.
Erik ten Hag fumed verociously at Martial at the technical area after Newcastle United nearly scored from the offensive.
In the previous Premier League match against Everton on November 26, 2023, Manchester United comfortably defeated the Everton side, with Martial providing an assist and scoring a goal in Goodison Park.
The little on-field spat with Erik ten Hag may be the end of any possible contract extension at Manchester United.
ten Hag had relieved big-name players of their duties due to falling out with the players or their inability to perform beyond par in football matches.
Anthony Martial had experienced different ups and downs at the Red Devils since arriving from Monaco at the age of 19.
Manchester United made him the most expensive teenager with an initial £36 million payment.
The striker scored one of the famous goals of his career in a 3-1 win against Liverpool in the Premier League on September 12, 2015.
He proceeded to enjoy a good season at the club, scoring 17 goals in all competitions, coupled with winning the FA Cup against Crystal Palace.
He was named in the France squad for Euro 2016 and played in a 1-0 defeat in the final against Portugal.
After those impressive years on the field, his career stalled.
He couldn't make the France World Cup squad for 2018 and struggled for consistency at Old Trafford.
The French star had been heavily criticized due to his inability to score enough goals in his ninth season at the club.
Andy Cole said, "When you play center forward at a club like Manchester United, that’s not enough goals.
"Can he take Manchester United where they need to be? He’s been here nine years and not done it, so it'll be very difficult for him to do it now."
What Next for Manchester United
The Red Devils are currently in 7th place on the Premier League table, with the fans visibly angry with the horrible performance displayed against Newcastle United.
The club welcome 11th-placed Chelsea to Old Trafford on December 6, 2023, at 9:15 p.m.
For Erik Ten Hag to prove he is a manager capable of leading Manchester United back to the glory days, he must defeat the big teams in the Premier League.
