Manchester United are ready to accept a bid for Anthony Martial this summer, according to a report - and have cut their asking price for a second player.

The Sun claimed earlier this month that manager Erik ten Hag and the club were willing to sell Martial, citing inconsistent performances as one of the reasons behind the decision.

The Frenchman has also suffered from several injury problems this season - and has been ruled out of the FA Cup final with a hamstring problem.

It will be the 27th game that Martial has missed this campaign (via Transfermarkt), and his lack of availability has been an issue for Ten Hag given the goalscoring burden on 30-goal forward Marcus Rashford.

United are searching for a new striker in the transfer market, and it may be that a fee generated from any sale of Martial could go towards that pursuit.

Now, the forward's exit from Old Trafford has reportedly taken one step closer - while one of his team-mates could also depart this summer.

Martial to leave Man Utd?

According to Football Insider, United are willing to let Martial leave during the upcoming transfer window.

It is claimed that the club will wait for the right fee, however, before selling a player that they signed from Monaco in 2015 for an initial fee of £36 million. As per talkSPORT, that fee has since risen to £44.7 million due to add-ons.

Football Insider add that, according to sources, both United and Martial see 'a parting of the ways' to be 'for the best' this summer. At 27 years of age, the Frenchman should still have a number of years of top-level football ahead of him, and could receive more opportunities if he does depart Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, the Manchester Evening News report that United want £10 million to sell young forward Anthony Elanga - half of the original £20 million asking price.

It is claimed that the club are willing to offload the 22-year-old due to his lack of game time under Ten Hag.

His last appearance for the side was in the 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League on April 20, with his only start in 2023 coming in the Carabao Cup win over Charlton in February. He has made 10 appearances in all competitions this calendar year.
