Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick confirms that there is no offer for the Red Devils forward Anthony Martial.

The French international stated that he wants to leave the club has he does not have enough playing time at the club.

Martial’s agent who confirm that the player is in search of regular game time believes the former Monaco man is keen on joining La Liga side Sevilla.

It is also believed that Barcelona and Juventus want to sign Martial on loan.

“We spoke at length on Wednesday,” said interim United manager Ralf Rangnick, revealing Martial’s desire to quit Old Trafford.

“He explained to me he’s been at Manchester United now for the last seven years and he feels it’s the right time for a change, to go somewhere else.

“I think in a way this is understandable, I could follow his thoughts but on the other hand, it’s also important to see the situation of the club.

“We have Covid times, we have three competitions in which we still have high ambitions and want to be as successful as we can be.”

Martial became the world’s most expensive teenage footballer when United signed him from Monaco in September 2015.

Martial made a memorable debut, coming off the bench to score a superb solo goal against Liverpool, and has gone on to score 79 goals in 268 appearances. But he has fallen down the pecking order of United forwards following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Jadon Sancho and the emergence of Mason Greenwood.

Rangnick confirmed no offer has yet been made for Martial ahead of the January transfer window and said he could stay at United.

He said: “I told him listen, as long as there is no club showing interest in him, and it should not only be in the interest of the player it should also be in the interest of the club.

“So far, as far as I know, there has been no offer from any other club and as long as this is the case he will stay.”
