Manchester United striker Anthony Martial hates the weather and food in England

ANTHONY MARTIAL has admitted he hates Manchester... well, the weather and food.

The Old Trafford striker opened up about his pet peeves in his adopted city to French newspaper L'Equipe.

Martial has had almost a year to get used to the customs up north after his move from Monaco last September.

But it appears some things from home just cannot be replicated no matter how much money you have, namely sunshine and decent grub.

When asked about his dislikes from his time in England, Martial said his "bad list" was: "Manchester weather, cooking when I'm tired and English cuisine."

At least he had the decency to call bangers and mash "cuisine".

Fortunately for the Old Trafford faithful he hasn't fallen out of love with football after 17 goals in all competitions last season.

But he made no mention of new boss Jose Mourinho on his list of "good things".

Instead the 20-year-old said: "Football. It sounds simple but it's always been the case - I don't see myself living without playing."

Also making the grade were horror movies, spending time with his family and playing video games.

Martial could be back in action for France in their Euro 2016 semi-final against Germany tomorrow night.

They will face the winner of Wales or Portugal, who play tonight in Lyon.
