Man Utd brace themselves for huge Saudi transfer bid as ‘Joel Glazer favourite’ targeted

The Red Devils are thought to be readying themselves for some late interest from Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal for misfiring French forward Anthony Martial, but not everyone is keen on selling

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is the latest Premier League star to be targeted by the cash-rich Saudi Pro League.

And it’s believed that Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag would be prepared to allow the injury-plagued player to leave for the right offer. West Ham are also monitoring Martial’s situation but it’s unlikely they would be able to match any fee and wages on offer from the Middle East.

Al-Hilal, who have just signed Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain, have discussed bringing in Martial if they fail to complete a £46million move for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

If that goes ahead Martial’s advisors have been told that there are other Saudi Pro League clubs waiting in the wings for the France international signed from Monaco eight years ago for £36 million, then the highest fee ever paid for a teenager. But Martial’s career has never really taken off at Old Trafford while fans have got on his back over a languid style of play.
