Meanwhile, Martial was considered as a potential January reinforcement by Serie A teams in Italy, but a recent hip injury means it is now unlikely that he will leave Old Trafford this month and any move would need to wait until the summer. ESPN reported on Friday that Martial is set to have talks with the Man United’s medical team regarding surgery as he looks to correct that injury, having not featured since Dec. 9 against Bournemouth.
