Anthony Martial was "hurt" to lose his number to Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the superstar Swede joined Manchester United this summer, his advisor has confirmed.

Martial was given the No. 9 shirt after moving from Monaco to Manchester in a record £36 million move for a teenager before the start of last season.

The French forward appeared to live up to the price tag, becoming a regular starter and fan favourite for Louis van Gaal's side over the course of the campaign. But he was forced to give up the number after Ibrahimovic joined the Old Trafford club in June.
