Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are said to interested in Martial, who is in the final year of his contract. After not being able to nail down a place in the team, the former Monaco player is frustrated with life in Manchester, and is eyeing a new pasture.
That, in turn, has encouraged Manchester United to act quickly, and they have set their eyes on Croatian forward Ante Rebic.
The player impressed for his national side in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2018. Croatia reached the final, where they lost against France in Moscow.

Meanwhile, besides Rebic, another player that United are interested in is Rebic’s fellow international teammate Ivan Perisic.
