Anthony Martial’s hopes of leaving Old Trafford on loan this month could rest on whether Manchester United are willing to pay a portion of the France striker’s wages, with Sevilla, Juventus and Barcelona all having shown an interest.
Martial, who denied United manager Ralf Rangnick’s suggestion that he had refused to be part of the squad for Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa, has made no secret of his desire to leave seven years after joining from Monaco in a deal that made him the most expensive teenager in history. United are believed to want his £150,000-a-week salary covered in full, plus a loan fee.
