World Cup star set to replace Anthony Martial

Manchester United want to sign Croatia World Cup star Ivan Perisic before they let Anthony Martial leave.

Martial, who has returned from United’s pre-season tour of the US for the birth of his second child, has been given the green light to leave Old Trafford - but only on their terms.

United want at least £70million for Martial and are determined he moves abroad, despite interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham.

Paris St Germain and Bayern Munich are also in the hunt for Martial and it is understood the 22-year-old forward would favour a move to the French capital, where his partner, Melanie Da Cruz, has given birth.
