Manchester United are ready to rebuff a loan request from Sevilla for striker Anthony Martial.
The Spanish club's director of football Monchi has contacted Martial's agent to see how feasible such a move would be.
The France international is keen to play more regular football and has grown frustrated under Jose Mourinho but the United manager believes Martial could apply himself better, a sentiment echoed by France national coach Didier Deschamps.
Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli wants the 21-year-old and is not alone with Premier League clubs such as West Ham among those who have asked.
