Real Madrid have reportedly stepped up their interest in signing Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial, according to The Sun.
The Spanish champions have made a poor start to their La Liga title defence, falling 10 points behind the league rivals Barcelona.
Martial, 21, meanwhile, has been consistent in his second campaign under Jose Mourinho, scored seven goals and registered six assists in 19 appearances in all competitions.
Marcus Rashford started Manchester United’s Premier League match with Liverpool earlier this season on the bench, leading to many fans questioning the decision of Jose Mourinho.
The England international was left out, with Anthony Martial getting the nod in the starting XI, supporting Romelu Lukaku in the attack. Manchester United did not do a great deal of attacking in the game but it was a surprise to see Rashford did not start the match, especially considering his work-rate.
Manchester United head-coach Jose Mourinho ramped up his interest in Alex Grimaldo from Benfica, according to The Sun.
The Spain under-21 international is said to have been monitored by the Red Devils’ scouts, while manager Mourinho got to watch him up close during United’s 1-0 win over Benfica at Champions League Group stage earlier this week.
Manchester United head-coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly prepared to break the transfer record by lining up a £170million swoop for Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane.
The England international has established himself as one of the finest players in Premier League, after scoring 15 goals in 10 appearances for Spurs and the national side.
Manchester United’s No 1 goalkeeper David de Gea has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain and could make a shock move next summer.
The 26-year-old has previously been tipped to join the European champions Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, three years after seeing a deadline-day move to the Bernabeu collapse.
