The France international has made just one league start under Jose Mourinho this season and is said to be frustrated at a lack of playing time.

Martial was linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the summer with Tottenham and Inter Milan both keen on his services.

However, Mourinho blocked any deal taking place with the Portuguese boss keen to use him in his plans this season.

Martial has not had the regular football he craves though, and with the World Cup next year he is well aware he needs to be performing consistently if he wants to make the squad.

And it seems Arsenal are willing to give him a fresh start in north London.

Arsene Wenger is a long term admirer of the 21-year-old and would welcome him at the Emirates.

According to the Gambling Times, Arsenal have made it clear to United they want to be told about any changes involving Martial’s situation.

United are happy with the attacker but they could struggle to please him if Mourinho continues to leave him on the bench.

Martial, who has netted four goals in all competitions this season, is under contract with United until 2019.

While Arsenal are keeping tabs on Martial, United also have their eye on Gunners duo Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

With both players out of contract at the end of the season, the Red Devils are hopeful of luring them to Old Trafford.
