Manchester United forward Anthony Martial wanted by Juventus after turning down new contract due to frustration over lack of playing time

Juventus are ready to step up interest in Anthony Martial after the France forward rejected a proposed new contract from Manchester United.

Martial is understood to be growing frustrated at his continued lack of starting opportunities following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez.

Though he has made 40 appearances and scored 11 goals, Martial has often been alternated with Marcus Rashford, another who has been yearning for more first team action, and is preparing to look for a new club this summer.
