But according to Sky Sports, both Atalanta and Lille are considering a deal.

Martial emerged as a potential target for Atalanta after their main man Gianluca Scamacca suffered an ACL injury at the weekend.

French side Lille are also monitoring his situation.

The ex-United star is understood to be taking his time on considering his future.

He also has options in MLS, Brazil and UAE.

Marseille and Besiktas were linked, but Martial has no interest in joining either club.

Following his Man Utd departure, Martial’s agent told Sky Sports: “Anthony is on vacation. We are studying the different projects and we will take time.

“Anthony has made sure to be fit and ready for his new club. He has been training normally for two months.

“He is 28-years-old. I hear reports that he would be too financially greedy with the clubs. This is not true.

“Anthony wants an ambitious project to achieve high club goals and get back into the France team. He will choose his club according to the sporting and family project.

“The finances are important for any professional player but they are not his priority.”

Martial joined Man Utd in a £36million transfer from Monaco in 2015 and went on to make 317 appearances.

During that time he scored 90 goals and provided 47 assists.

However, his final few years at Old Trafford were marred by injury issues.
