Anthony Martial decides preferred destination if he leaves Manchester United in January - Reports
Manchester United star Anthony Martial has identified his ideal destination as he prepares for a move away from Old Trafford during the winter transfer window.
Anthony Martial joined Manchester United from Ligue 1 side AS Monaco for a hefty sum in the summer of 2015. While the Frenchman showed glimpses of his abilities in the early stages of his stint with the Red Devils, he has fallen down the pecking order recently.
With playing time hard to come by at Manchester United, there are serious doubts about Anthony Martial's future at the club. The forward's representatives even admitted that he is looking for a new team ahead of the winter transfer window.
Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Anthony Martial as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe. Barcelona and Juventus have also been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old.
However, Anthony Martial prefers a move to La Liga side Sevilla in January, according to Sky Sports. The former Monaco star is now set to hold talks with Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick in the coming days.
