Manchester United's Anthony Martial breaks silence after £180000 (R3.17m) fine upon going AWOL

Martial, 22, has been strongly linked with an exit from United after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular under Jose Mourinho.

During the recent ICC pre-season tour, he was given special leave of absence to attend the birth of his second child in Paris but failed to return to the US within the agreed date set.

Rumours intensified about an alleged fallout with the Red Devils manager when he claimed 'he didn't know' if Martial would return to the squad.

Reports soon surfaced of the £180k disciplinary measure for the Premier League side, which the former AS Monaco subtly responded to via his official Twitter account.

"Thank you all for your posts. My little Swan is fine, for the mom it was harder but thanks to God she's better now. Sorry but my family will always come first... Back tomorrow in Manchester," he wrote.
