Manchester United will reportedly listen to offers for Anthony Martial if they are successful in bringing number one centre-forward target Rasmus Hojlund to the club.
The Red Devils have already acquired Mason Mount this summer and are believed to be on the verge of securing the signing of Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan.
Once the Onana deal has been completed, Man United will allegedly step up their interest in Hojlund, with a deal for the Denmark international potentially costing as much as €70m (£60.1m).
The 20-year-old scored 10 times for Atalanta BC during the 2022-23 campaign, including nine in Serie A, and he is thought to be Erik ten Hag's leading centre-forward target this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, providing that the Red Devils are successful in signing Hojlund, then Martial will be allowed to leave Old Trafford before the end of the transfer window.

Martial impressed Ten Hag during last summer's pre-season, and he started the 2022-23 campaign as the team's number one centre-forward.
The 27-year-old struggled with a number of injury problems last season, though, which restricted him to just 11 starts in the Premier League.
Martial did manage to contribute nine goals and three assists in 29 appearances in all competitions, with six of his goals coming in the Premier League.
However, the Frenchman spent time out with hamstring, Achilles, back and hip problems, and there has been widespread speculation surrounding his future in recent weeks.

Martial was not involved in Man United's first pre-season friendly of the summer against Leeds United last week, as he is recovering from a minor injury problem.
The attacker has now been with the Red Devils for eight years, representing the club on 298 occasions in all competitions, scoring 88 goals and registering 53 assists in the process.
Man United are short of options in the final third of the field, and there is currently uncertainty surrounding the futures of Amad Diallo, Facundo Pellistri, Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho.
A final decision on Mason Greenwood is thought to be close, but it is widely thought that the 21-year-old will be spending the 2023-24 campaign out on loan.
Man United will play their second pre-season friendly of the summer against Lyon on Wednesday before heading to the United States for their pre-season tour, which will see them take on Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
