Manchester United might have finally found a buyer for out-of-favour star Anthony Martial.
Since joining United from French side AS Monaco back in 2015 for a reported fee of £36 million, Martial has failed to live up to the expectation.
With his contract due to expire at the end of the 23/24 season, United are reportedly keen to offload the forward in the upcoming January transfer window.
According to Italian news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sport Witness, Serie A giants Inter Milan are said to be keen on bringing Martial to the club.
It has been reported that Inter are looking for a loan deal with an obligation to buy for an overall valuation of a player between €8 million and €10 million.

This brings Martial into play as he could be available for a low price due to his contract situation.
Martial has been performing way below-par in recent seasons as he continues to be a backup to the likes of Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund.
Back in 2022, Martial was reportedly involved in a training ground bust-up with youngster Dan Gore.
According to the Daily Mirror, Gore put in a strong challenge on Martial, which led to a confrontation between the two players.

It has been claimed that Martial ‘lashed out’ at the youngster before apologising for his actions.
Earlier in the month, Martial was spotted having an argument with manager Erik ten Hag during United’s 1-0 defeat by Newcastle United.
Speaking about the incident, Ten Hag said via the Manchester Evening News: “It's not about Anthony Martial, it's about the team. I try to energise the team and try to get a reaction from the team in this moment.

“As you see, we had a tough period and when you're coaching you are a little more aggressive, so that's normal.”
If Martial is moved on, there could be a chance that United bring in a new forward, with three names linked with a move.
United are currently seventh in the Premier League table after collecting 28 points from 17 matches. The Red Devils are six points off fourth-placed Manchester City and 11 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
The Old Trafford club will be back in action this weekend as they travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.
