BBC Online :
Manchester United are in discussions with Anthony Martial’s representatives over a new long-term contract.
Martial, 22, has a year left on his present deal but United have the option to extend by a further season.
Earlier this summer Martial’s agent said the France forward wanted to leave the club because of a lack of playing opportunities.
Tottenham made an inquiry, and it is understood that United manager Jose Mourinho was open to a deal. Chelsea’s Willian and Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic were being suggested as replacements.
His exit was blocked, however, with United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward believing Mourinho should get more out of him.
