According to rumours, Manchester United has offered Anthony Martial to Real Madrid for roughly £13 million.
The Red Devils are said to be eager to offload the Frenchman before the transfer deadline on Friday.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti last week ruled out making another signing this month.
He said: “I rule it out. One hundred per cent.”
However, United’s low-ball offer for a player who cost them about £50 million in 2015 may entice Real Madrid to return to the market.
According to Fichajes, the Spanish behemoths are debating whether or not to make the move.
Following Vinicius Jr’s injury over the weekend, Ancelotti and company may be persuaded, they suggest.
Karim Benzema’s move for the Saudi Pro League has also left a void up front.
Real Madrid will reportedly make the move if it is determined that Martial would fit into Ancelotti’s system.
They may even take Martial on loan without having to commit to making the deal permanent.
Early in the transfer window, Real Madrid paid £115 million for Jude Bellingham.
They have remained rather quiet in the market since, only adding Arda Guler, Fran Garcia, Joselu, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Club executives are eager to sign Kylian Mbappe next summer.
The Frenchman’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is scheduled to expire.
Meanwhile, Martial started United’s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend.
The 27-year-old also appeared in a five-minute cameo against Tottenham the previous week.
He has appeared in 300 games for the Red Devils, scoring 88 goals.
Martial was on loan at Sevilla for the second part of the 2021-22 season, scoring once in 12 games.
