Barcelona's recent dedication to targeting Premier League stars to improve their squad could continue, next summer.
The Catalan club swooped for Luis Suarez in 2014, signing the Uruguayan from Liverpool in a £70 million deal before trying and failing to land Philippe Coutinho, this summer.
Now, the La Liga giants are being linked with Manchester United's Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman has started the season in terrific form, despite not being a guaranteed first team starter under Jose Mourinho. Five goals and five assists have seen the former Monaco forward rediscover the form he displayed in his debut campaign at Old Trafford, and it's also apparently caught the attention of Barcelona chiefs, who, according to Mundo Deportivo, are considering making a big money move for the France international.

The Spanish daily claims that, given Martial's age and quality, he would be an ideal signing next summer and given that Mourinho uses the Frenchman in a rotational system with Marcus Rashford , that may play into Martial's decision about his future, which could potentially lie away from Old Trafford.
United fans will be hoping this isn't the case, however, with Martial recently being named the club's player of the month for September, the third time he has won the award.

Martial was linked with moves to Sevilla and Tottenham, in January after enduring a difficult second season in England, but seems to have won over Jose Mourinho in recent months with a string of terrific displays.
