Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is reportedly an option for Juventus if they find themselves in need of a Cristiano Ronaldo replacement.

Ronaldo has been making the headlines in recent days, with speculation claiming that he wants out of Juventus set to dominate the tail end of the summer transfer window.

If Ronaldo does depart, Juventus will need to find a replacement, fast. According to Fichajes, Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has emerged as an option.

Martial could perhaps do with a change of scenery, especially considering the arrival of Jadon Sancho is likely to further limit his game time. Let's wait and see what happens…
