Roma enter transfer talks with Man Utd for out of favour winger

Roma and Manchester United have begun talks for Anthony Martial, according to reports in Italy and France.

The French winger is not expected to be a regular starter at the Old Trafford next season and with Roma who have just sold Mohammed Salah to Liverpool for € 42 million (plus € 8 million in bonuses), the giallorossi have made the former Monaco starlet one of their main transfer targets.

According to goal.com Roma’s DS Monchi has already made contact with representatives of Manchester United to discuss a potential loan move of the French starlet.

Martial joined Manchester United for € 80 million in summer 2015 managing 25 goals in 91 appearances with the Premier League giants.

Martial, however, is not the only winger on Roma’s sights as the giallorossi have also begun talks with Sassuolo for Gregoire Defrel, another talented striker who is contract with the neroverdi. Defrel is one of Serie A’s most wanted strikers as well as a transfer target of Tottenham and Leicester City who are also being linked with a summer move for the 26-year-old star.
