BARCA EYE MARTIAL SWOOP

- By ADAM CRAFTON TV: Bournemout­h v Man Utd, LIVE on BT Sport 1 from 7pm. Kick-off 7.45pm.

BArCELoNA are considerin­g a £60million move for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial this summer. Martial is reported to have hit a contract stalemate with United amid concerns over his playing time. His deal expires at the end of next season but United retain the option of a one-year extension. Since Alexis Sanchez joined in January, Martial has not scored and has started only four games, including defeats at tottenham and Newcastle. He is also said to be unhappy he was asked to accommodat­e Sanchez by playing on the right wing rather than the left. Barcelona considered a bid for Martial last year before they moved for ousmane Dembele. Barcelona are also confident they will sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, and scouts are watching Fulham’s ryan Sessegnon. Meanwhile, United will train at Fulham for two days before their FA Cup semi-final against Spurs on Saturday. United will stay in the south after tonight’s league match at Bournemout­h, and asked Fulham if they could use their facilities while they stay in a London hotel.
