France forward Anthony Martial s future at Manchester United is unclear.
The 25-year-old is struggling to fit into United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s plans.
Martial signed a five-year deal with United in 2019, meaning he is contracted until 2024.
Manchester United officials have given Anthony Martial’s representatives the green light to look for a new club.
However, the Frenchman fears he may be priced out of a January move.

Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde rested Lionel Messi for his side s LaLiga clash with Leganes, naming the club s leading goal-scorer among the substitutes.
Valverde opted to start the match with a front three of Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez as Barca sought a seventh successive league victory that would restore their five-point lead over Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.
Messi has scored six goals in his last four league appearances to take his tally for the season to 17 and his total for the club past the 400 mark, but Valverde said before the game that his star man would need a rest amid a tough run of fixtures.

Neymar scored two penalties as Brazil cruised to an entertaining 5-1 friendly win over South Korea in Seoul on Thursday.
South Korea star Son Heung-min had urged his team-mates to be fearless against the top-ranked side in international football, but they were outclassed for much of the match by Tite s men.
A scrappy Richarlison opener had Brazil in charge as early as the seventh minute and, although the hosts did equalise through Hwang Ui-jo, more Brazil goals were inevitable such was their dominance.
Alex Sandro proved key to getting Brazil back in front as he won two penalties either side of half-time, with Neymar outsmarting the goalkeeper on both occasions to put the game beyond South Korea before substitutes Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus finished off …
Gerard Pique scored the only goal as Barcelona beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 at Camp Nou to get off the mark with their first victory in this season s Champions League.
Barca had lost their opening two group games for the first time ever, going down 3-0 to both Bayern Munich and Benfica, but they were good value for the three points.
Pique volleyed in a first-half opener to end a run of 287 minutes without a goal in the competition for the Catalans and they looked comfortable without adding to their scoring.
The win moves Ronald Koeman s men above Kiev into third place in Group E, a point behind Benfica and three off Bayern Munich, with those two sides meeting later on Wednesday.
Barca had recorded fewer shots on target (one) than any side in the competition headi…
Alphonso Davies is relishing his new-found status as an inspiration after he helped Bayern Munich to Champions League success, as he believes his backstory proves anything is possible.
Davies, 19, has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top, having only joined Bayern from Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS last year and being converted into a left-back this season.
But the Canada international s story goes back much further.
He was born in a refugee camp in Ghana after his parents fled their native Liberia during the country s second civil war.
The family moved to Canada when he was five and he eventually attained citizenship in 2017.
Dream come true!!!!!!

England captain Harry Kane helped Bayern Munich strengthen their grip on Group A in the Champions League as he scored in a 3-1 win at Galatasaray.
Kane scored his 11th goal in 13 games for the German side as he put them 2-1 up after Kingsley Coman’s early opener was cancelled out by Mauro Icardi’s penalty.
The 30-year-old tapped home from close range in the 73rd minute and then Jamal Musiala made the game safe six minutes later to all-but seal qualification for the knockout stages.
Unreal atmosphere, proper Champions League night. Great away win

Luis Enrique has warned Paris St Germain against falling into the “trap” of being overconfident when they visit surprise package Brest in Ligue 1 on Sunday just because the reigning champions blew away AC Milan in midweek.
PSG pulled off the perfect response to their shock defeat by Newcastle in the previous round of the Champions League by cruising past Serie A giants Milan 3-0 to take charge of their tough group at the halfway stage.
The Spaniard’s men have won three of their last four league games but a win at Stade Francis-Le Ble would only boost them to within a point of leaders Nice, so Enrique is taking the assignment very seriously.

After the woes of last season, Liverpool look like genuine contenders for the Premier League title again. They seem to be back to their best, even with a number of players absent through injuries, and on Saturday afternoon, Southampton felt the full brunt of the raging storm when they visited Anfield for their clash in the 13th round of the campaign.
Diogo Jota opened the scoring after less than two minutes and added another half an hour later. Thiago Alcantara whacked in the third with a bit of help from a favourable deflection in the 37th, and Virgil van Dijk scored against his former club to set the final scoreline in the 52nd.

Not so long ago, Liverpool s only designated left-back was Alberto Moreno, prone to both mistakes and injuri…
Substitute Darwin Nunez fired Liverpool into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a stunning second-half winner in a 2-1 success over Bournemouth at a blustery Vitality Stadium.
The in-form Uruguay forward had been on the pitch for just 10 minutes when he collected a pass from fellow replacement Trent Alexander-Arnold and unleashed a thunderous finish into the top right corner.
Cody Gakpo gave Jurgen Klopp’s much-changed visitors a first-half lead before Justin Kluivert’s maiden Cherries goal levelled proceedings amid treacherous conditions caused by Storm Ciaran.
Parity lasted just six minutes as Nunez’s third goal in as many games emphatically earned the nine-time winners a place in the last eight to ensure an entertaining fourth-round tie would not be set…
Everton have completed the signing of Dynamo Kiev left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko.
The Ukraine international has penned a four-year deal at Goodison Park and becomes the Toffees first signing of the January transfer window.
Mykolenko has represented his country on 21 occasions and was part of the squad that reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.
Speaking to Everton s official website, Mykolenko said: Moving to Everton is a big and important step in my life.
I have always dreamed of playing in the Premier League. English football is where the game was born and I think that it will suit my game very well.
I am 22 but I don t feel like a youngster. I have experience of playing at European level and hope I will continue to improve as a player.
