United face battle to retain star striker

 

Anthony Martial has emerged as a transfer target for Serie A giants Juventus, reports Tuttomercatoweb via Sky Sports.

 

The Frenchman has made a huge impact for Manchester United following his summer arrival from Ligue 1 outfit Monaco last summer, netting seven goals and registering a further three assists in 24 league appearances.

 

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with the Old Lady taking a liking to the young France international.

Juventus are preparing for life after Alvaro Morata, with Real Madrid widely expected to exercise their right to re-sign to the Spaniard at the end of the season.

 

Edinson Cavani is another believed to be on the Italian side's radar, though Martial, 20, remains their priority should Morata depart for Madrid this summer.
