The young Frenchman's cousin confirmed Inter Milan's interest in a tweet according to 100 Great Goals.

But the tweet also said that Martial's focus was on making good preparations in Manchester in an effort to cement a spot in the starting nine.

The rumours of a move coincide with Jose Mourinho's bid to get Perisic's signature which has intensified over the past week.

The Red Devil's are confident on closing a deal but have so far been reluctant to lose Martial on loan as part of the negotiations.

But a move could be beneficial for the 21-year-old who saw limited playing time last season.

With the World Cup next summer Martial could be open to a switch to Milan to gain more playing time.

The winger had a stellar debut season at Old Trafford scoring 17 goals in 49 appearances.

But the arrival of new boss Mourinho saw Martial spending more time on the bench.

Last season he made just 18 Premier League starts with four goals in league games.

Interest has also come from Roma who have reached out to Man United to enquire about a loan deal for Martial.
