Manchester United are reportedly open to selling Anthony Martial for around £40million as Barcelona emerge as potential transfer suitors for the out-of-form Frenchman.

Barcelona would be an interesting move for him, as the style of play in La Liga might actually prove a better fit than the more fast paced and physically demanding English game.
