Sevilla is said to be interested in signing Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial on a permanent basis. The Spanish club appeared to rule out the prospect a few weeks ago, with the Frenchman being booed frequently by supporters due to his poor performances. Since joining Sevilla in January, Martial has only scored once in 11 appearances.

The Frenchman has two years left on his current contract with United, but his dissatisfaction with a lack of playing time may prompt him to seek a transfer this summer. In a recent interview, Sevilla sports director Monchi stated that the club has not ruled out making a bid if Martial decides he does not want to wait to see whether the new United boss favors him.

In a recent interview, Sevilla sports director Monchi stated that the club has not ruled out making a bid if Martial decides he does not want to wait to see whether the new United boss favors him.

"His move was cheaper than you think, but it's still a large investment, only six or seven million," he told Radio Sevilla (via Sports Mole). Unfortunately, analyzing Martial's performance while he was wounded and now when he is hurt again is tough.

"I'm not ruling out his continued involvement, even though there's a lot to observe and talk with the player at the end of the season." Martial had a muscle injury in February, causing him to miss three games for Sevilla.
