Martial ducks question on whether he will leave Man Utd for Paris Saint-Germain
Posted Tuesday, March 29, 2016 by squawka.com

Anthony Martial has avoided answering a question on whether he would quit Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain in the future, instead saying that he hopes United get back to top form next season.
Martial is currently with the France national squad for their international friendlies ahead of Euro 2016 and played in the 3-2 win over the Netherlands last week, in which he came off the bench to set up Blaise Matuidi's last-gasp winner.
The 20-year-old has been hugely impressive for the Red Devils since making the switch from Monaco last summer, though much responsibility has already been thrust on him after the poor form of others around him at Old Trafford.
United currently occupy sixth place in the top flight and could miss out on Champions League qualification this season, which would be a massive loss not only to the club's supporters, but also to their ability to attract and keep hold of their key players, something which Martial appeared to hint at when answering a question on a possible move to PSG.
"They are not at the top of the top [Manchester United, at the moment], but I hope that next year they will be," he told RTL.
The French champions have already reclaimed their Ligue 1 title this term, recently beating Troyes 9-0 to be crowned champions as early as March 13th. Laurent Blanc's side have also knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League and will face United's rivals Manchester City in the quarter-finals.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic out of contract in the French capital this summer, the club could be on the hunt for a fresh new forward to lead their line, and the pace and power of Martial could be an attractive investment.
Martial is joint-leading goalscorer in the league for the Red Devils with seven in his 24 appearances and has also created 29 chances for his team-mates, the third-highest of anyone at the club this term.
United are likely to be reluctant to sell Martial, with the club having splashed £36 million on the then-teenager at the start of the season. However, United's possible position outside of the top four come May could be a key factor if Martial's head starts to turn.
