ANTHONY MARTIAL wants to leave Manchester United this summer after rejecting a new contract offer, say reports in France.
The forward's current deal runs until the summer of 2019, but he is said to have refused to extend that over his lack of playing time, according to French outlet RMC Sport.
A number of clubs are said to be in pursuit of France international Martial, including La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Martial, 22, has been a fringe player under Jose Mourinho, despite demonstrating a clear knack for goals in brief stints off the bench.
RMC Sport claim United boss Mourinho offered Martial a new five-year deal, but was knocked-back by the disgruntled forward.
The French star was already battling for minutes last season behind the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford.
But the summer signing of Romelu Lukaku and January acquisition of Alexis Sanchez have hampered his game-time further.
Martial has registered 11 goals and ten assists this, but has seen ex-Arsenal ace Sanchez eat into his minutes, with the France ace not scoring since January.

The news is likely to come as a huge boost to the European giants chasing his signature, including Tottenham, Juventus and Atletico Madrid.
With Martial's contract up in little over a year, the former £36million signing from Monaco could be available in a cut-price deal this summer as United aim to cash-in.
