ESPN reports that Anthony Martial is the latest Manchester United forward linked with a move away from the club.
After it emerged that England striker Marcus Rashford is considering his future at Old Trafford due to a lack of first-team action, Martial is the latest player who wants to leave after claims that he turned down a new contract with United.
Whilst the Frenchman wants to stay with United, manager Jose Mourinho may deem him surplus to requirements, as he looks to shake the team’s attack up again.
Should he become available, Martial will have no shortage of teams who want to sign him with PSG and Atletico Madrid all vying for his signature, as well as Tottenham, although United are reluctant to sell him to a Premier League rival.
However, Juventus are keen to do a deal for Martial, having been informed that the player is likely to cost around £60 million, and are willing to fight other potential rivals for his capture.
