BARCELONA EYE MARTIAL

Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez watched Anthony Martial play during Manchester United’s Champions League victory over Benfica, as  reported by  Mundo Deportivo.Fernandez travelled to Lisbon for the game and saw Martial produce a lively 15-minute cameo off the substitutes’ bench after the France forward replaced Marcus Rashford.

Speculation has recently claimed United would be willing to offer Martial in exchange for Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic, while Arsenal are also reported to be admirers of the former Monaco youngster.
