Vinicius suffered a hamstring injury against Celta Vigo recently, and he could be out of action for around six to eight weeks.

As a result, Los Blancos are looking for a temporary signing and Sport claim that Martial could be a potential candidate for them.

The France international was hampered by several injuries last season, but still impressed with nine goals and three assists.

He is currently below the pecking order for a starting role, and United are open to loaning him out if his wages are covered.

United have already signed one new striker in Rasmus Hojlund . The Dane could make his debut against Arsenal on Sunday.

If Martial heads for the exit door, the club could focus on signing Santos striker Marcos Leonardo for around £20 million.

Leonardo has been in fine form for the Brazilian outfit, registering 16 goals and providing four assists in the current season.
