Manchester United 'willing to hand Anthony Martial £12m payoff'

Manchester United are reportedly giving consideration to paying up the rest of Anthony Martial's contract.

Having fallen down the pecking order during the first half of the campaign, Martial was allowed to sign for Sevilla on loan in January in a bid to find some form.

However, the 26-year-old has failed to make the desire impression in Spain, contributing just one goal and one assist from 11 appearances.

According to The Sun, there is an acceptance that Martial will not break into Erik ten Hag's plans next season, something which has resulted in a free transfer becoming a possibility.

For that to occur, United officials would need to pay up the rest of Martial's contract, which would allegedly cost the Premier League giants as much as £12m.

Even to get down to that figure, United must hope that Martial is willing to find a compromise in order to kick-start his career elsewhere.
