Barcelona have reportedly made a surprise enquiry for out of favour Manchester United forward Anthony Martial, in a move which may bring an end to his frustrating Old Trafford spell.
Martial, 25, has made just nine appearances in all competitions this season - with most coming from the bench, and faces an uncertain future at the club under newly-announced interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
And Mundo Deportivo have now reported that cash-strapped Barcelona asked about Martial's availability recently, with the potential for the striker to join in January.

The same report has added that Xavi is an admirer of the former Monaco man's qualities, despite his mixed fortunes at United over the past couple of seasons.
However, both he and Barcelona will be forced to wait for several weeks to discover whether the move can happen ahead of the winter window.
