Manchester United winger Anthony Martial has agreed to join Inter Milan on loan next season - allowing the Red Devils to sign Ivan Perisic.

That is according to Italian outlet Calciomercato, who say the Frenchman had been the stumbling block in the move, but has now given the green light to a temporary switch.

Inter want in the region of £50million for Perisic but Jose Mourinho is an admirer and is keen to complete a deal.

Perisic, 28, scored 11 goals and laid on 12 more for his teammates in 42 appearances last season.

Alongside Paul Pogba, he showed glimpses of being the man all United fans hoped he would be: the midfield anchor that allows Pogba to use his pace, power and guile in attacking areas.

He didn't look as sharp as he undoubtedly will when the real stuff gets underway, but his simplicity on the ball showed a lot of promise.
