Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to see Anthony Martial sold this summer.

The Mirror says United's decision to sell Martial will help to bankroll their anticipated summer move for long-standing target Gareth Bale.

Boss Jose Mourinho has lost patience with the now 22-year-old France forward, who hasn't consistently shown the skills which saw the Old Trafford giants splash out £36million — with the potential to rise to £58m — on Deadline Day in September 2015.

United would hope to recoup most of their investment — cash which will be used to try to finally land Real Madrid's Bale.

The Madrid top brass believe he is missing too many games though injury.

It's going to be a summer of big changes at Madrid and the 28-year-old Welshman will be allowed to leave — providing any club can pay around £80m.
