However, Manchester United refused to let him speak to Arsenal, which is said to have frustrated him.

The report claims that he is becoming increasingly unhappy at Manchester United, with his lack of regular game time under Jose Mourinho.

The Times also claim that he will consider a move to Juventus in Italy, if they can match Manchester United’s valuation.

Alexis Sanchez joined United from Arsenal in January, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way.

Martial was Arsenal’s first target, before having to settle for Mkhitaryan in the deal.

The French forward is said to be annoyed with United for not letting him discuss a move with Arsenal.
