Manchester United striker Anthony Martial could be heading to Inter Milan on loan in January.

After a whirlwind start to his career at Old Trafford in September 2015, Martial has found it difficult to become a first team regular and wants to try his hand elsewhere.

 

And according to the Daily Star, a loan deal could trigger a request from United to replace him with Inter winger Ivan Perisic.

However, while Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho would be willing to offload Martial, the United hierarchy are not so willing to fully turn their back on the 22-year-old.

But a loan swap could suit both parties as a change in UEFA’s rules means players can now represent more than one club in their competitions during a season.

In previous seasons they would have been cup-tied once they appeared for one team.
