According to a report published by TalkSport, Manchester United are willing to send Anthony Martial to Bayern Munich in a deal which could involve Robert Lewandowski coming to Old Trafford.

Both players are said to be currently unhappy at their current clubs.

Martial is also at odds with United manager Jose Mourinho after reporting late for pre-season training as he attended the birth of his second child.

Martial wants out of United in order to play more regularly. As a result of insufficient game-time last season, he played no part in the French national team which won the World Cup in Russia last month.

The Red Devils are willing to sell Martial on the condition that they receive an offer of at leastĀ Ā£70 million. Bayern meanwhile are unlikely to meet this.

In what has so far been an underwhelming summer transfer window for United, they are keen to add Lewandowski to their roster.

He is a lethal striker and undoubtedly has the ability to win games for any of the major clubs in World football.

A source said: ā€œBayern are still keen and United have been after Lewandowski for a long time and want him.

ā€œHis agent is close to Jose and United and he is keeping them both in the loop along with Real Madrid.

ā€œThis is all down to whether he wants to go and Bayern are happy for him to leave. Itā€™s up in the air.

ā€œBayern want Martial to take over from Ribery but donā€™t want to pay the excessive fee being asked for.ā€
