    According to The Athletic, Martial has rejected approaches from Marseille, Fenerbahce, and a number of Saudi Arabian clubs this month. The 28-year-old is out of contract in the summer and can agree a deal with a foreign club this month, but he has yet to strike an agreement.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Martial has only managed to score twice in 19 appearances in all competitions this season, and United are not said to have any intention of triggering an option in his deal that would extend his contract by a further year. Instead, they are willing to let him leave on a free transfer at the end of the season, although it remains to be seen how many clubs will be willing to make an offer.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Martial has gone almost three years without completing 90 minutes and has been on the verge of an exit repeatedly. He was loaned to Sevilla in 2022 but struggled to make a significant impression in Spain.

    WHAT NEXT FOR MARTIAL?

    The French striker will look to finish off the season on a high as he bids to find a new club in the summer. The 28-year-old could be involved this weekend against Tottenham, though he has missed United's last six games through a combination of illness and injury.
