Sevilla plotting ambitious swoop for Manchester United star Anthony Martial

ANTHONY MARTIAL has emerged as a shock target for La Liga side Sevilla.
The French forward faces an uncertain future at Manchester United due to his fractious relationship with boss Jose Mourinho.
        
Now Spanish publication Marca report Sevilla are ready to test the water by launching an ambitious move for the 22-year-old.
And it is also claimed they have targeted Paris Saint-Germain star Julian Draxler as they look to bring in a big name before the transfer window closes on August 31.
Martial looked set to depart Old Trafford over the summer but the club refused to sell him to a Premier League rival.
Mourinho is believed to be happy to let him go in January in order to raise extra funds for reinforcements.
His agent insisted his client wanted to leave when the transfer window opened but the star is relishing the opportunity to prove himself after Mourinho refused to let him join another English side.
Martial started just two of United's final ten league games last season, which cost him his World Cup place.
He also fell out with his manager last month when the hotshot left United’s US tour to attend the birth of his child in Paris, and was later fined for going AWOL after not returning to the squad.

Do you think Zinedine Zidane will join Manchester United?

ZINEDINE ZIDANE has reportedly told pals that he expects to be offered the Manchester United job if Jose Mourinho is sacked.
As exclusively revealed by SunSport, Zidane is United's top managerial target if Mourinho was to leave Old Trafford.

United have distanced themselves from speculation claiming that they are ready to sack Mourinho and are ready to back him with transfer funds in January.
But the Portuguese is claimed to have told friends he would have walked away from any club other than United.
And if Mourinho's relationship was to deteriorate with United chief Ed Woodward then ZZ is primed to take the reins.

United have lined up the Frenchman in the same way they did with Mourinho when Louis van Gaal's tenure was unravelling.

Kylian Mbappe on move to Real Madrid

REAL MADRID will try and sign Kylian Mbappe if Paris Saint-Germain are punished for Financial Fair Play violations.
The treble Champions League winners expect the French club to be sanctioned for breaching FFP "imminently"

And according to AS, they are poised to make a bid for World Cup winner Mbappe, 19.
The French forward was a sensation in Russia and became the first teenager since Pele to score in a World Cup final.
PSG signed Mbappe on loan last season, with the £162million fee to be paid to former club Monaco by next week.
But the Qatari-owned French club could be forced to balance their books to the tune of millions if they do not convince Uefa they have broken even

The incident occurs at Barca’s American training camp in Miami, with Neymar seen scuffling with recent signing from Benfica Semedo.
The pair are forced apart, with Javier Mascherano quickly on the scene.
Semedo walks away from the fiery flashpoint, but Neymar refuses to let the issue lie.
Clearly flustered, the Samba star shouts over to Barca’s £26.8 million summer signing from Benfica as the rest of Ernesto Valverde’s squad watch on.

He then looks to head back in the direction of Semedo before being restrained by Sergio Busquets.
Neymar tears off his training vest before kicking a stray ball away in frustration.
The bust-up has served to further fuel speculation suggesting that the 25-year-old could soon be heading out of Camp Nou, with Paris Saint-Germain leading the race for his signature.
The Ligue 1 giants are reportedly willing to meet Neymar’s €222 million release clauseand make him the most expensive player in history.
Barca have sought to play down the rumours, with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu telling the New York Times that the club are reluctant to part with a player of such talent .
He said: "Well, you know Neymar is one of our best players, and so we don't want to lose that player.
"We want him to continue, continue with us. He still has four years of his contract, so nothing else to say.
"You know that players decide if they want to leave, they can decide.
"But as far as Barcelona, we want him, and we need him. Because if we want to win, we need the best players possible."
Neymar has, however, stayed quiet on the subject of his future, allowing the exit talk to rumble on.

Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria has been identified as a potential new signing for Barcelona should they lose Neymar to the Ligue 1 side, according to RMC.
Rumours of a blockbuster €222 million move continue to circulate around the Brazilian, despite claims by Gerard Pique that he is staying put. 
And while Paulo Dybala and Philippe Coutinho also appear on the Barca shortlist, the Argentine is similarly seen as a possibility to fill the attacking vacancy that would be left by Neymar's exit.
