Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is not interested in leaving Old Trafford during the January market, according to a report.

Anthony Martial is reportedly not interested in leaving Manchester United during the January transfer window and has already rejected a host of interest in his services.

The Frenchman's contract at Old Trafford is due to expire at the end of June, and the Red Devils have declined the option to activate an additional 12 months on his deal, which would have taken him until June 2025.

Man United are believed to be open to offers for the striker this month, and according to Sky Sports News, Fenerbahce and Marseille have both made their interest known, in addition to clubs from the Saudi Pro League.

However, the report claims that the former Monaco youngster has no desire to leave Old Trafford during the winter market and is planning to finish the season at Old Trafford.

Man United are said to have recently held talks with Martial and his agent over his future, but it is seen as unlikely that a new deal will be handed to the forward.

As a result, Martial is likely to leave Man United on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.

The 28-year-old made the move to Old Trafford from Monaco in the summer of 2015, and he has represented the 20-time English champions on 317 occasions, scoring 90 times and providing 55 assists.

Martial has been a regular this season, featuring 19 times in all competitions, but he has only found the back of the net on two occasions, in addition to registering two assists.

The forward has one goal and one assist in 13 Premier League appearances this term, but he has not featured for Erik ten Hag's side since the clash with Bournemouth on December 9.

Martial has been absent for the team's last six matches in all competitions through illness, most recently missing out against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Monday night.

Man United are now preparing for Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur, and it remains to be seen whether he will be brought back into the squad for that contest.

Martial has struggled with a number of fitness problems since Ten Hag's arrival as head coach, but he did manage nine goals in 29 appearances for the club last season.

The Frenchman's best campaign in terms of goals came in 2019-20, when he netted 23 times in all competitions, but he has managed just 19 strikes for the Red Devils since.
