Mourinho pushing Man Utd to sell Martial before month's end

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants to see Anthony Martial sold this month.

The Daily Star says United insiders claim the under-fire Portuguese is desperate to sell the French youngster before the end of the European transfer window to raise cash for a January splurge.

But club chief Ed Woodward disagrees, thinking the player has potential at just 22 and is refusing to sell him for other than top price.

And interested clubs such as Bayern Munich won't want to pay much more that the £58m that brought him to Old Trafford from Monaco - meaning the Frenchman looks set to stay.

Mourinho is adamant Martial is not good enough and Woodward's refusal to ship him on will create more tension.
