Man Utd striker preparing for January exit

Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is preparing to leave the club in January amid interest from Saudi Arabia.

The Frenchman has had a difficult campaign with the Red Devils and he has netted just two goals across all competitions.

As a result, United have decided against renewing his deal expiring in June 2024 and it is claimed that he could leave this winter.

According to Ekrem Konur, the 27-year-old is on the radar of Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ettifaq, who are willing to pay €10 million.

The Pro League club should easily afford the player's €300,000-a-week wages and he could also be handed with a salary hike.

Aside from Martial, the likes of Raphael Varane and Casemiro have also been linked with big moves to the cash-rich league.

Varane's deal also expires at the end of the season and United have yet to exercise the option of keeping him for another year.

United are planning to invest on a new striker, central defender and midfielder in January. It may depend on player sales.
