Martinez on Manchester United radar

Manchester are reportedly taking steps towards signing Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez this summer.



The Red Devils currently have Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford as centre-forward options.

However, Edinson Cavani is widely expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick has acknowledged that a new striker will be pursued and Martinez appears an option.

According to Il Giorno, the Red Devils are making initial steps towards the signing of the Argentina international.

Martinez only penned a new deal earlier last year, but the Nerazzurri are willing to sell him for around £75 million.

United won't be alone in the player's pursuit, considering Liverpool and Arsenal are also keen admirers of him.

The Gunners made a tentative approach for Martinez last summer, but Inter refused to negotiate for his services.

They were reluctant to lose two strikers in the same transfer window after Romelu Lukaku opted to rejoin Chelsea.
