Dimitar Berbatov has warned Anthony Martial off a potential transfer to Inter Milan.

Inter are reportedly looking at Martial to replace Romelu Lukaku, who is set to join Chelsea.

But Berbatov insists the Frenchman should "stay at Manchester United and challenge himself".

He told Betfair: "Anthony Martial is probably thinking that he is in a bit of a difficult situation because with, Sancho coming to United, the Frenchman's playing time is going to be reduced.

"I have no doubt that this will be going through his mind right now, he will be questioning himself asking: 'Do I stay and fight for my position, or should I start to look to move to a team where I will play more regularly?'

"Inter would not be the best place for Martial. His playing style is very technical and he suits going one-on-one with defenders. I would like him to stay at United and challenge himself. If he can show what he can do in training and then in games then I think he will be fine and he is another great option for United to have.

"I hope he can stay fit, because he's had a few [injuries] in the past and this can put a real stop on the development of a player."
