Anthony Martial has been linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer, with West Ham United keen.
Anthony Martial has struggled to remain fit at Old Trafford. And West Ham United are keen on signing him, according to a report from ExWHUEmployee via West Ham Central.
The €60 million signing has struggled to live up to the expectations since his move from AS Monaco. Martial was expected to develop into a world-class forward for the Red Devils but has not been able to fulfil his potential so far.
The French international is no longer a key starter for Manchester United. So it makes sense for him to leave the club permanently, with Erik ten Hag reportedly sanctioning his sale. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. And if West Ham can provide him with that opportunity, moving to the London club could be ideal for him.
West Ham will be competing in the UEFA Europa League next season, and they need more quality in their squad to do well in the European competition. The Hammers have established loose contacts with the Red Devils regarding a move for the Frenchman. And it remains to be seen whether the two parties can come to an agreement soon.
Manchester United have signed Rasmus Hojlund to boost their attacking options, and they are open to selling Martial for the right price. West Ham certainly have the finances to get the deal done, especially after the departure of Declan Rice.
The 24-year-old England international completed a British transfer record move to Arsenal earlier on in the window, and West Ham have enough resources to improve their squad significantly. Meanwhile, Martial was regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe in football when he moved to Manchester United in a €60 million deal.

Regular football at West Ham United could help him regain his confidence and sharpness next season. If West Ham can sign him for a reasonable price in the coming weeks, the move could prove to be a masterstroke for them. Martial is already well-settled in English football and he will be determined to make an immediate impact at the London club.
