The resigning of club legend Cristiano Ronaldo has already triggered one attacking departure, but according to recent reports, Manchester United could be close to bidding farewell to another forward.
That’s according to a recent report from Madridista Real, who have claimed Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes is currently working on a potential deal that would see Anthony Martial join Paris-Saint Germain.
@MarioCortegana ya adelantó que Jorge Mendes estaba intentando hacer de intermediario. Sin embargo, el United no parece estar por la labor.

Following the recent resigning of Ronaldo, the Red Devils have already offloaded Daniel James, who has joined Leeds United, but another name close to the exit is now understood to be Martial.
Martial, 25, has endured a tough spell at United and following an untimely injury at the end of last season, has also seen his starting place come under threat.
Set to fall even further down Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pecking order, a deadline day move may be exactly what the France international needs.

However, despite speculation that the 25-year-old could be set for a transfer, it has also been noted that a potential deal is extremely complicated, especially following Madridista Real’s claim that Manchester United’s hierarchy may not be keen to sanction a move.
The next few hours are likely to be hugely decisive in Martial’s Old Trafford future.
Matial should go. He don’t deserve to play at oldtrafford. He is an average player let him go.
Martial needs to be sold. So that Cavani can use no 9 and Ronaldo no 7. Martial is out of form and currently struggling in Man United. the best decision is to lay him off and let him go.
looks like Jose Mourino was spot on. Wanted to get rid of Pogba (attitude, inconsistent and unprofessional) and Martial (attitude and no end result – except for one season). Just want to see current manager gone (lack of motivational skills, and ridiculous remarks (so I read in Press) – such as he is not bothered about cup matches as they are only for egos (really motivational that was).
PSG aren’t Man Utd rivals, Marcial is a lazy git so won’t be missed.
