Sevilla are also keen on taking Martial to La Liga, with the Spanish side reportedly in talks with Manchester United. The Red Devils are open to loaning the forward but are demanding a €5 million loan fee. The report reads:

Anthony Martial could be granted his wish to leave if a suitable proposal lands and among the sides expected to make contact with the 20-time English champions in the coming days are Italian giants Juventus. Dermot Corrigan reports that Sevilla are also continuing their pursuit of the France forward, for whom United are believed to be seeking a loan fee in the region of €5 million.

Anthony Martial and Ralf Rangnick settle miscommunication at Manchester United

Anthony Martial denied claims from Ralf Rangnick that the forward did not want to be part of his squad for the match against Aston Villa. The Frenchman added that he was never going to reject the chance to put on the Manchester United jersey as long as he remains at the club.

Rangnick confirmed talks with Martial to sort out the confusion and told the media everything was settled.

"Since we last spoke one-and-a-half weeks ago, I told him it's about being professional until the very last day no matter how long he stays or when he leaves. It was good to have this conversation with him. In the last two games, he was part of the squad and today he played a vital role in the goal that we scored."

The Manchester United manager added:

"He's a top player, one of the best strikers in the Premier League but we have other players in his position and it is his wish to leave but, as I said to him, it always takes different parts to find an agreement and the way he trained and played when he came on today showed his professionalism I expect from everybody. I am happy he was playing today, that came on and had a vital role in the goal."

Martial was used as a late substitute in the win against West Ham United last week. The Manchester United forward laid the pre-assist for Edinson Cavani who squared the ball for Marcus Rashford to score the winning goal.

Manchester United face Middlesbrough next in the FA Cup on 5th February.
