Manchester United are willing to use Anthony Martial in negotiations for Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng.

United boss Jose Mourinho is desperate to see an experienced centre-half added to his squad before next week's transfer deadline.

Germany international Boateng is a target, reports BILD, and their interest sets up the prospect of a swap involving France international Martial.

Bayern are seeking €60m to sell Boateng, while Martial is rated at €65m by United.

PSG are also chasing Boateng, but Martial could prove a decisive factor if it becomes a straight auction between the two clubs.
