Atletico Madrid are exploring the possibility of signing Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman looks certain to leave Manchester United after he was publicly lambasted by manager Ralf Rangnick.

Rangnick was furious over comments made by Martial's agent to the press stating that the 26-year-old wanted to leave Old Trafford.

"I don't communicate with agents via the media and press. The player hasn't spoken with me or us about it," Rangnick responded.

Now according to Eurosport, Atleti are weighing up a January move for Martial.

To entice United, the Spanish club will include right-back Kieran Trippier in the transfer.

Trippier is keen to return to England and was linked to the Red Devils club last summer.

Los Colchoneros have struggled in their La Liga title defence this season as they currently sit 13 points from leaders Real Madrid.

Diego Simeone is hoping to add more firepower to his attack and Martial fits the profile.
