Manchester United 'hoping to sell Anthony Martial, Aaron Wan-Bissaka'

Manchester United are reportedly keen to sell Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils are yet to make a signing this summer despite allowing Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani and Juan Mata to leave the club on free transfers.

Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong continues to be linked with a switch to Old Trafford, while Christian Eriksen has allegedly been offered a contract by the 20-time English champions.

New head coach Erik ten Hag is believed to have around £130m to spend this summer, and the bulk of that could be used to bring De Jong to the club from Barcelona.

However, according to The Athletic, the Red Devils could boost their budget by selling both Martial and Wan-Bissaka, with the duo capable of raising sizeable transfer fees.

Martial spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla but found it difficult to make his mark, managing just one goal and one assist in 12 appearances.

The France international has scored 79 goals and registered 50 assists in 269 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions, and he has more than two years left to run on his contract.

However, the 26-year-old has only netted five Premier League goals over the last two seasons, and he is believed to collect in the region of £240,000 a week in wages.

Man United are said to be keen to sell Martial this summer, and there is believed to be interest in the former Monaco youngster despite his recent struggles.

Martial's departure would allow the Red Devils to bring another forward to the club, but Ten Hag could potentially have a closer look at the Frenchman during pre-season before making a final decision.

Wan-Bissaka, meanwhile, made 26 appearances for Man United during the 2021-22 campaign, including 20 outings in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old lost his regular starting role to Diogo Dalot in the second half of the season, though, and there have been claims that he has been made surplus to requirements.

Man United paid Crystal Palace in the region of £50m to sign Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace in July 2019, but his valuation has dropped significantly due to his struggles in Manchester.

The Red Devils are still allegedly confident of receiving a sizeable sum for the right-back this summer, though, with a number of teams believed to be showing an interest.

Wan-Bissaka's contract at Old Trafford is due to run until June 2024, with the option of a further 12 months.
