Former Manchester United star Anthony Martial has been banished by his club Monterrey after throwing a touchline tantrum in Mexico, according to reports.
Martial, who chalked up over 300 appearances during his nine years at Old Trafford, was released by Man United when his contract came to an end in the summer of 2024.
Following a short one-year stint with Greek outfit AEK Athens, the former France international moved to Mexico to join Monterrey in September 2025 on a two-year deal – but his career has now appeared to hit a new low.
According to Mexican outlet TUDN, the 30-year-old striker has been exiled from training after he reacted furiously to not being substituted during Monterrey’s 3-2 defeat by Chivas de Guadalajara last Sunday.
It is claimed Martial threw a strop on the substitutes’ bench when youngster Joaquin Moxica was brought on in the 74th minute, with Monterrey three goals behind.
Furious at being overlooked by manager Nicolas Sanchez, Martial lost his temper and remained an unused substitute for the rest of the game.

Martial has struggled for form of late, netting just once in his last 21 games for the Mexican side
Martial’s reported meltdown was spotted by Monterrey’s staff and the ex-Red Devils striker was subsequently punished, ordered to train away from the main group for the remainder of the week.
The forward has struggled for form of late, netting just once in his last 21 appearances for the Mexican outfit.
When he arrived at Old Trafford for £36million in 2015, the highest fee for a teenager at the time, Martial was expected to kick on and become one of the world’s best talents in attack, especially after scoring against Liverpool on his debut.
But the Frenchman struggled for consistency in Manchester amid injuries issues and frequent managerial changes and eventually left with a tally of just over 10 goals a season across all competitions at Old Trafford.
After falling down the pecking order in 2022, Martial was loaned out to Sevilla where he endured a barren spell in front of goal, scoring just once in 12 games, before completing a permanent free transfer away to AEK Athens in 2024.
