Manchester United may be set to promote some of their brightest stars to a more prominent role in the first team if Anthony Martial gets his wish and leaves the club this month.
Martial told the Old Trafford club last month that he wants a new challenge and has requested to leave, putting himself in the shop window.
The 26-year-old has made just seven league appearances this season, with only two coming as starts, and has not featured for United since a two-minute cameo against Arsenal at the beginning of December.
And with the likes of Sevilla, PSG and Newcastle showing interest, Martial could be heading for the exit – and interim boss Ralf Rangnick will not stand in his way.
The Frenchman's departure would present an opportunity for Amad Diallo, Anthony Elanga and Shola Shoretire to get a more prominent role in Rangnick's plans, according to the Express.
The report claims finding a replacement for Martial in the transfer market may be a tough ask and instead could hand the opportunity to one of the three aforementioned players.
Diallo has struggled to get any meaningful first-team minutes under his belt since his £25million move from Atalanta last summer.
The Ivorian arrived to huge fanfare but is yet to get a real run in the first team.
Meanwhile, Elanga already appears to have Rangnick's trust having put pen to paper on a new four-and-a-half-year deal last month and scored on his full Premier League debut against Wolves.
He already has already made four appearances for United this season and looks to be in favour with the new management.
Another promising option would be Shoretire who has been tipped for big things in the future.
The talented 17-year-old has been fast-tracked through the club's acadamy and has made four senior appearances for the club so far.
