Atletico keen on Manchester United duo

Atletico Madrid are reportedly plotting a double swoop for Manchester United duo Anthony Martial and Ander Herrera at the end of the season.

Both Martial and Herrera have been in-and-out of the starting lineup and the latter, in particular, has fallen out-of-favour under Jose Mourinho in 2018.

According to El Gol Digital, the Spanish outfit are keen on signing the United duo and are prepared to make a combined bid of £70m to acquire their services.

Martial, who is currently valued at £45m, has found limited gametime since the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in January and he is supposedly considering his future away from Old Trafford.

Herrera, on the other hand, has been a regular since the start of April but the Spaniard is nevertheless weighing up his future with his contract expiring in 13 months' time.

Atletico Madrid progressed to the Europa League final after beating Arsenal earlier this month and it is suggested that their transfer plans won't be affected by a defeat to Marseille in Lyon.
