Anthony Martial wanted by TWO Champions League clubs after Man Utd exit - but MLS transfer also an option for French forward

Per Sky Sports, Atalanta and Lille have reportedly shown interest in signing the French forward, who left Old Trafford after nine years earlier this summer. Martial is also said to be attracting interest from MLS, Brazil and the UAE, and he will take a final call on his future after duly analysing all the options on the table.

Soon after the ex-Monaco player left the Red Devils, some reports claimed that clubs like Marseille, Lyon and Besiktas wanted him, however, he decided against joining any of those teams. It is believed that Atalanta are desperate for attacking reinforcements after their star forward Giancluca Scamacca picked up an ACL injury during pre-season.

Speaking to Sky Sports in June, Martial's agent Philippe Lamboley said of the decision-making process ahead: "Anthony is on vacation. We are studying the different projects and we will take time. Anthony has made sure to be fit and ready for his new club. He has been training normally for two months. He is 28-years-old. I hear reports that he would be too financially greedy with the clubs. This is not true.

"Anthony wants an ambitious project to achieve high club goals and get back into the France team. He will choose his club according to the sporting and family project. The finances are important for any professional player but they are not his priority."

It now remains to be seen where the France international moves to as he looks to reignite his career, which went downhill in his final few years at United. Martial scored 90 goals in 317 appearances for the Red Devils but a combination of injuries and poor form prevented him from fulfilling his potential at Old Trafford.
