Manchester United have reportedly received three offers for Anthony Martial, with the club open to letting him leave during the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old was linked with a move away from Old Trafford over the summer, but it is understood that the only serious offer that arrived for him came from the Saudi Pro League.
Martial is believed to have made it clear that he was not interested in a switch to Saudi Arabia, and he therefore remained at Old Trafford past the deadline.
The forward has been a regular this season, making nine appearances in all competitions, scoring once and providing one assist, but he is behind Rasmus Hojlund in the pecking order for the starting centre-forward spot.
A recent report claimed that Martial was unhappy with his current role in the squad and would look to leave next year unless his situation changed.

The France international only has a deal with Man United until next June, although the club have the option to activate an additional 12 months.
The Red Devils are allegedly yet to decide the best course of action, and it is possible that an extension could be granted before he is sold next summer rather than being allowed to leave on a free transfer.
According to Football Insider, Man United are willing to let Martial leave during the January transfer window, and the club have already received three offers for his services.
The report claims that the club are keen to remove his salary - said to be around £250,000 a week - from the budget, especially as he is not in the long-term plans of head coach Erik ten Hag.

Martial started last season as the team's number one centre-forward due to the uncertainty surrounding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
Various fitness problems restricted the ex-Monaco youngster to only 29 appearances last term, though, scoring nine times and registering three assists in the process.
Martial's only goal of this season came against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup last month, and he has failed to find the back of the net on six occasions in the Premier League in 2023-24.
A mid-season departure for the Frenchman would likely see Man United enter the market for a replacement, as Hojlund would be left as their only recognised first-team centre-forward.
Jadon Sancho is also seemingly heading for a January exit, with the Englishman still being kept away from the first-team picture at the club due to his falling-out with Ten Hag last month.
