Sevilla remain in talks with Manchester United over a loan deal for forward Anthony Martial.
Martial, who played a key role in United’s late winner against West Ham at Old Trafford on Saturday, has asked to leave United and wants more playing time.
Sevilla have already had an offer rejected for Martial and discussions continue over a loan fee and the payment of wages.
United were unhappy with the previous offer as Sevilla had only offered to pay half of the player’s £150,000-per-week wages, without any option or obligation to buy.
Decision-makers at Old Trafford are reluctant for any players to leave on loan and would also prefer any deal to see wages paid in full as well as an additional loan fee.
Martial became the world’s most expensive teenager when he joined United from Monaco in 2015 and he has gone on to score 79 times in 269 appearances for the club.
The 26-year-old has fallen out of favour in the forward positions following the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho in the summer, as well as the emergence of Mason Greenwood.
