Anthony Martial's hopes of leaving Manchester United on loan this month depend on whether the club is willing to pay part of his £150,000-a-week salary, with Sevilla, Juventus and Barcelona all interested. The France striker has made no secret of his desire to leave Old Trafford seven years after joining from Monaco in a deal that made him the most expensive teenager in history.
United are believed to want Martial's wages covered in full, plus a loan fee. Sevilla's loan bid that would have involved the Spanish club paying half of Martial's wages was rejected at the end of December, and they are unwilling to cover his entire salary. Juventus have also expressed an interest, while Barcelona have made initial enquiries.
Martial denied interim manager Ralf Rangnick's suggestion that he refused to be part of the squad for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. Rangnick said: 'He didn't want to be in the squad. He would have been in the squad normally. He didn't want to be and that's the reason why he wasn't with us.'
Martial hit back on Instagram: 'I will never refuse to play a match for Man United. I've been here for seven years and I never disrespected, and will never disrespect, the club and the fans.' Tottenham and Newcastle have made approaches, but Martial prefers a move abroad.
