Martial was decked out in a Moschino black sweater in his luxury Mercedes G Wagon.
But SunSport understands he had only driven in moments earlier.
However, there is mystery surrounding what prompted the immediate exit.
United are making their preparations to take on Brighton at Old Trafford this Saturday.
The former Monaco forward, who joined United in 2015, started the comeback win over Nottingham Forest and the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal immediately ahead of the international break.
However, he could see his opportunities limited leading the line up front now that £72million summer signing Rasmus Hojlund is available.
Hojlund replaced Martial at the Emirates as the Frenchman’s wait for a United goal stretches back to May having not found the net yet this season.
That strike against Chelsea was his sixth Premier League goal of the 2022-23 campaign, from 21 games.

Martial was linked with a transfer exit away from Old Trafford this summer.
Moves to West Ham, Fenerbahce and even Real Madrid were reported.
But the versatile attacker stayed put and was yesterday confirmed in United’s 25-man Premier League squad.
Graeme Souness, though, questioned Martial’s quality to perform for the Red Devils.
He said: “I wrote an article five years ago stating it was the last chance saloon for Anthony Martial. Yet he’s still starting matches as their main focal point in attack.
“He isn’t a Manchester United player. He will get you excited and then let you down.”
The situations relating to Jadon Sancho and Antony – the latter on mutual leave amid allegations of domestic violence – could see Martial given a run of games on the wing for United.
Although Alejandro Garnacho will also be vying for a spot in the starting XI when Brighton arrive at Old Trafford.
The Seagulls sit sixth in the Premier League with three wins from four so far – while United have won two and lost two.
