MANCHESTER UNITED will accept offers of £40million for Anthony Martial in January, according to reports.
And the Frenchman is reportedly willing to join a Premier League rival.
The 25-year-old forward had been tipped to leave Old Trafford following the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He rejected a deadline day move to Lyon.
But he could still leaving during the next transfer window, according to Eurosport.
Martial has three years left on his £250,000-a-week Old Trafford deal.
And his wages could be a sticking point when it comes to finding a new club.
United have informed the striker’s representatives they are happy to let him go in the new year.

But Martial is said to be concerned the £40m tag may price him out of a move.
Atletico Madrid showed interest before re-signing his countryman Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona.
And the Catalan giants are also said to be considering a move for the Red Devils man – but not until next summer.
As a result, Martial is said to be open to a switch to another Premier League side.
However, he would much rather stay and be a part of United plans – though that looks unlikely.
He scored seven in 36 matches last season but has failed to find the net in five games this campaign – four of which were brief showings off the bench.
SunSport exclusively revealed this month Martial is one of seven stars United are looking to offload in January.
Donny van de Beek, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones and Eric Bailly are among those who may be sold.
Full-backs Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles could also go.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to add to his transfer kitty by offloading some of his squad, who are not expected to feature much in his starting XI.
It is also understood a number of his younger stars are available for loan, as the club look to get them more game-time.
