Transfer news: Lyon targeting shock loan deal for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial

Lyon are weighing up an audacious loan swoop for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.

The France international has not been a regular under Jose Mourinho this season, leaving his long-term future uncertain.

Lyon, according to France Football, are chasing the 21-year-old and they would love to bring him back to Ligue 1 this summer.

Martial came through the ranks at Lyon before leaving for Monaco in 2013.

Lyon are hoping to sign the player on loan as they believe a short spell away from Old Trafford may solve his situation.

The French club can offer Martial regular first-team football next season, which would aid his development and boost his chances of getting in the France squad for the 2018 World Cup.
