Manchester United have reportedly offered PSG the chance to sign Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman wants out of Old Trafford this summer but United are reluctant to sell him to a Premier League rival.

PSG are admirers and French outlet Paris United suggest United approached them last week to discuss a deal.

It is claimed the French champions were told they can complete a deal for around £70m.

However, PSG are believed to have rejected the offer because the deal would be too expensive due to Martial's hefty wage demands.

Rojo set for exit

Everton are leading the race to sign Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo.

The central defender has been told he can leave United, as long as a buying club meets their £30million valuation.

Rojo has not joined United on their US tour, despite Argentina having exited the World Cup exactly a month ago – giving him more than the requisite three-week post-tournament break.

Although Rojo signed a new deal with United until 2021 – with the option of an extra year – in March, that was done chiefly to protect his market value.
