Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has insisted that he has not been taking any notice of the rumours that Jose Mourinho could replace Louis van Gaal as manager in the summer.

The former Chelsea boss, who has been out of work since getting sacked by the Blues in December, has been heavily linked with an appointment at Old Trafford.

Van Gaal remains in charge of the Red Devils and reports emerged in Holland on Tuesday claiming that the Dutchman will keep his job for next season.

When asked by France Football about the Mourinho rumours, Martial said: "As long as the current coach is there, I don't think about it.

"If Mourinho must arrive, he will arrive. For the moment the coach is still there. Every coach has their good and bad sides. Van Gaal has given me a lot of confidence and I try hard to pay it back to him every day."

Martial has scored 13 goals in 40 games in all competitions this season.
