Twitter: Manchester United Fans Think That The Club Are Crazy If They Are To Complete This Transfer

Anthony Martial is currently on the fringes of manager Jose Mourinho’s first-team having struggled to recapture his fine form from his first season at Old Trafford, when he top scored for United with 17 goals.

Spanish club Sevilla are the surprise title challengers in La Liga and want Martial’s firepower to take them to the next level. Reports claim that the Red Devils have no intention of letting Martial leave Old Trafford though, with the Frenchman needed for back-up. But the Red Devils could struggle to keep him in January, with Martial open to playing abroad for the remainder of the campaign.

Martial has already revealed his frustration at playing second-fiddle to the likes of Marcus Rashford, admitting earlier in December. The 21-year-old has scored just four times this campaign and Mourinho has advised him to follow the example set by previously out-of-favour midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan in order to force his way back into the starting line-up.

The attacker was signed for an initial fee of £36m and he became the most expensive teenager in football history when he joined United from Monaco in September 2015. He made an instant impact for United, scoring a superb solo goal on his debut in a 3-1 victory over rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.  Martial continued to impress during his debut season in England and helped United win the FA Cup in May – their first major trophy in three years – with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Wembley.
