Barcelona, Sevilla, Juventus 'competing to sign Anthony Martial in January'

Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus are reportedly competing for Anthony Martial's signature, as the attacker prepares to leave Manchester United before the end of the month.

The France international has told the Red Devils that he wants to seek pastures new in January, although he is only expected to depart on loan rather than on a permanent basis.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have both had approaches turned down, as Martial is not interested in staying in the Premier League.

As a result, Romano claims that Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus are in the running for the 26-year-old's signature before the January window closes for business.

Martial has only scored once in 10 appearances for the 20-time English champions this season and has not been involved for the club since the start of December.

Man United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick claimed that the Frenchman refused to be involved against Aston Villa on Saturday, but the player took to social media to deny the accusation.
