INTER MILAN are on the hunt for a forward and are eyeing up Manchester United outcast Anthony Martial, a report claims.
After eight years at the Red Devils, the Frenchman seems to be in his final stages at Old Trafford and he could be sold on a free transfer in January.

ReutersMartial, 27, has been struggling for game time this term having only played 220 minutes in the league.
With hopes of landing a place in the French squad for Euro 2024 he will need to secure more appearances.
And a move to Serie A side Inter Milan could do the trick.
According to Calciomercato, Inter are ready to make a move on the forward as they aim to replace Marko Arnautovic.
The Austrian striker returned to Milan in the summer after 13 years but has unfortunately been sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Inter’s owner Giuseppe Marotta does not want to gamble with the 34-year-old’s fitness any more and is ready to make a move for Martial.
The report claims, the chief might secure the Frenchman on a free transfer as United could first accept a loan deal and then £10.5 million for a permanent signing.
Man Utd had their eyes on Arnautovic last summer but had a £7.6m bid rejected for the ex-West Ham star.

The British billionaire is prepared to offload players as he cracks down on how the club have blown £1.4billion on transfers in the last decade.
This includes Martial who arrived in 2015 from Monaco for £36million.
The French international’s contract is up at the end of the season and it is uncertain whether a renewal will be offered.
In the last three years, only 15 goals have been scored between leagues and cups and between Manchester and Martial’s loan at Sevilla.
