MANCHESTER UNITED are set to make a huge transfer swap with Anthony Martial for Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco, a report claims.

With the January transfer window looming the Frenchman has been tipped for a move away from Old Trafford.

The uncertainty of Martial’s future at Man Utd has become increasingly clear as the club have still not extended his contract which is set to finish in June 2024.

A transfer has been rumoured to be on the cards for the forward who has failed to impress this season.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a move that may benefit Man Utd is Martial heading over to Inter Milan.

The Serie A giants see Martial as a backup choice for their frontline and want to send Dimarco, 26, as a part of a swap deal.

With Inter valuing the Italian star at £50million this would be out of Man Utd’s budget despite the financial backing from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the report claims.

However, an option for a swap could ease the hefty transfer fee as the Red Devils.

Martial has struggled for form this term, having only scored once in 13 Premier League outings.

The Frenchman was available for sale in the summer but stayed at Old Trafford despite interest from clubs such as West Ham and Fenerbahce.
