Manchester United are considering using Anthony Martial in a swap for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.

Ara says Nou Camp boss Xavi is desperate to sign a striker following Sergio Aguero's retirement.

And Martial has now emerged as a target after Ralf Rangnick warned Barca off Edinson Cavani.

Martial has made it clear he wants to quit Old Trafford this month after attracting interest from Sevilla.

But Barcelona could now jump the queue by launching a bid including contract rebel Dembele.

The winger, a target for Newcastle, is set to become a free agent next summer after failing to agree a new deal.

United have long been linked with Dembele, and could be tempted by a swap involving wantaway Martial.
