Anthony Martial has used the international break and his absence from the France squad to get in a trip to Dubai.

The Manchester United star was overlooked for the France squad by Didier Deschamps and did not drop into their Under 21s either. It meant Martial was free to take some leisure time and opted for a holiday destination much-loved by footballers, Dubai.

Martial shared a snap on his Instagram account of himself posing in front of the famous Dubai City Tower.

The French international has struggled to find consistent form in his second season at Old Trafford but insists he remains focused on remaining at the club

The 21-year-old told Inside United magazine: 'For me, what's really special here is the supporters. They've been really outstanding with me.

'I think that's what goes a long way to making me feel at home and at ease, and makes me really keen to stay here at the club.'

Having finished as the club's top scorer with 17 goals in his debut campaign, the 21-year-old has found the back of the net just seven times this season. Martial has praised the Old Trafford fans for their patience during his difficult second term.

He added: 'In France, even if you're one of the best players around, they might begin to boo and jeer you if you go a couple of games without scoring. 

'But here it's just the opposite, they'll try to cheer you on so you might be able to score, and so then you grow in confidence.

'I think it's just a different mentality. That's why I like the fans here so much.'
