Manchester United are making a push to prise Marco Verratti away from PSG.

The Mirror says United's hunt for £60million Verratti has been stopped in its tracks – with the French side demanding Anthony Martial as the deal-breaker.

Holding midfield star Verratti has emerged as a Jose Mourinho target with Chelsea refusing to budge on their £50m valuation of 28-year-old Nemanja Matic.

United negotiator Ed Woodward stepped up his pursuit of Italy ace Verratti, 24, after Barcelona cooled their interest last week.

But PSG laid down the law to United, and said they will only do business if £56m former Monaco striker Martial is part of the deal.

United are unwilling to allow Martial to leave but are continuing dialogue with PSG in the hope an agreement can be struck.

In their favour is that Verratti has appointed Mino Raiola as his new agent.
