The French forward remains in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans for the upcoming campaign as he looks to challenge for silverware on all fronts.
Martial missed the final two months of last season with a knee injury and only returned to full training last week.
He made his first pre-season appearance during Saturday’s 4-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford, playing 45 minutes.
With Marcus Rashford sidelined until October due to surgery and Amad Diallo looking set for a loan move, United are left short of attacking options.

He is now competing with Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood to reclaim his position as United’s lead striker.
The arrival of Jadon Sancho will hugely benefit Martial.

Both players tend to attract defenders, leaving space for teammates to exploit.
The Frenchman will be looking to rediscover his goalscoring form and stake a claim for his place in the team.
