Anthony Martial could leave Manchester
United for Sevilla in January, the forward’s
agent has revealed.
The 21-year-old is currently on the fringes
of manager Jose Mourinho’s first-team having
struggled to recapture his fine form from his
first season at Old Trafford, when he top
scored for United with 17 goals.
Martial has scored just four times this
campaign and Mourinho has advised him to
follow the example set by previously out-of-
favour midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan in
order to force his way back into the starting
line-up.
However, Martial’s representative, Philippe
Lamboley, has claimed the France
international is wanted by Sevilla and says an
agreement could be reached during the
January transfer window.
“We are studying the Sevilla option in detail,”
Lamboley told Spanish radio station
ABCdeSevilla.
“Sevilla are a very good club, are in a good
position in La Liga, play in the Champions
League and have a great coach. That’s all I
can tell you.”
Martial became the most expensive teenager
in football history when he joined United from
Monaco for an initial £36m in September
2015.
