Manchester United hint Anthony Martial WILL be allowed to leave in the January transfer window... but boss Ralf Rangnick says a deal will only be struck 'in the interests of the club'

Manchester United have opened the door for Anthony Martial to leave Old Trafford — but only if the deal is right for the club.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick says he understands Martial’s frustration following talks with the unhappy France striker at Carrington last week. But he insists that Martial will stay during the January transfer window unless it suits United and warned that another Covid-hit season has emphasised the need for a big squad.

The 26-year-old is under contract at Old Trafford for another two-and-a-half years and his £200,000-a-week wages could be an obstacle in any transfer negotiations.
