Friday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Anthony Martial, Dean Henderson, Paul Pogba

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Friday, December 11.

A frustrating summer transfer window has now closed with Manchester United having missed out on a number of their top targets, including Jadon Sancho.

The Red Devils were busy on deadline day, though, bringing in Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Facundo Pellistri, in addition to agreeing a deal to sign Amad Traore in January. Attention will now switch to other business they may do when the window reopens in the winter.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Friday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Anthony Martial to leave Manchester United next summer?

Manchester United are reportedly open to the idea of selling Anthony Martial next summer.

The 25-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 campaign as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's number one striker, scoring 23 times and registering 12 assists in 48 appearances in all competitions.

Martial has found it difficult to make his mark this term, though, managing just two goals in 11 appearances, while he is yet to score in six Premier League outings during the current season.

The France international has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2024, but according to Eurosport, he could be on the move during next summer's transfer window.

The report claims that there is a 'growing possibility' that the former Monaco youngster could seek pastures new, fuelling suggestions that United will target a new forward ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

Martial was not available for his team's Champions League clash with RB Leipzig on Tuesday night due to a muscular issue and remains a doubt for Saturday's Manchester derby.



Dean Henderson 'holds talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over playing time'

Dean Henderson has reportedly held discussions with Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over his playing time at the club.

The England international returned to Old Trafford over the summer with the view to potentially replacing David de Gea as the club's number one goalkeeper.

Henderson has featured on five occasions for the Red Devils this season, including in the team's last two Premier League matches against Southampton and West Ham United.

De Gea was back between the sticks against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday, though, and is expected to keep the gloves for Saturday's Manchester derby.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Henderson is frustrated that he did not start the recent games against Istanbul Basaksehir and West Bromwich Albion, and the 23-year-old is prepared to leave the club on loan in January in order to cement his spot in the England squad for the European Championships.

The former Carlisle United youngster signed a new five-year contract with United in August.
