Manchester United could be presented with a shock January swap deal involving striker Anthony Martial. Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly eyeing a move for the Red Devils flop amid his struggles in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that the 27-year-old is of interest to the Parisians as they attempt to inject more homegrown talent into their squad. Martial could be available in the winter window having been demoted to second-choice centre-forward at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Hojlund\u2019s \u00a372million arrival at United could spell the end for Martial, who has scored just 18 top-flight goals since the start of the 2020-21 season. The Red Devils reportedly hope that the former Monaco man agrees to a January move.<\/p>\n

United are fielding interest in the Frenchman and PSG are reportedly among the parties keen on a deal. According to TeamTalk, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid also harbour an interest in signing the player.<\/p>\n

There is allegedly hope that a departure would allow United to bolster their forward line in the winter window. However, United could use discussions with PSG chiefs to strike a player-exchange agreement for defender Nordi Mukiele.<\/p>\n

United were widely linked with the 26-year-old in the summer transfer window but failed to complete a transfer. The failure to offload Harry Maguire or Raphael Varane meant that a defensive overhaul had to be postponed, with a rejig of Erik ten Hag\u2019s midfield of a higher priority.<\/p>\n

PSG signed Mukiele from Red Bull Leipzig in the summer of 2022 but the France international has struggled for game time. He has started just twice in Ligue 1 this season, appearing for a total of 205 top-flight minutes.<\/p>\n
