And Wenger reckons the French winger is a perfect replacement when Alexis Sanchez leaves Arsenal.

United put down £36million to buy Martial from Monaco but there are add-ons that will see the fee rise.

Arsenal may need to break the £50million barrier to land him but Wenger is willing to invest in the right player.

The Gunners boss is keeping a close eye on Martial’s situation at Old Trafford and will weigh up a move if he looks unsettled.

He has lost his place in the France squad but regular games in Wenger’s team will put him back in the frame for Didier Deschamps team.
