#3 Juventus

Manchester United's Anthony Martial is one of the most skilled players on the pitch when on song. Unfortunately, the Frenchman has lacked the consistency to his game and has been guilty of being lethargic time and again.

This is not something that cannot be changed or turned around, which is why it will encourage top clubs to go after Anthony Martial's signature. Juventus have struggled in Serie A this season, with just 27 points in 16 games. They have missed the presence and goals that Cristiano Ronaldo brought to their game.

The Old Lady need to bolster their attack and understandably, Manchester United's Anthony Martial could be one of their targets. The Frenchman can definitely do well with the Italian giants given the immense talent he possesses.


#2 Barcelona

The situation at Barcelona is only getting worse with time. With their recent elimination from the UEFA Champions League, manager Xavi's troubles are not lessening any sooner.

The Catalan club are finding it difficult to cope with the departure of Lionel Messi last summer. Barcelona need more attacking options in their team as the current ones aren't deemed to be good enough. With Sergio Aguero's health not supporting his playing cause, the Spanish giants definitely need to bring a forward.

It is also reported that if Barcelona's pursuit of Ferran Torres fails, they might opt to go for Anthony Martial. Manchester United will be keen to hear what the Spanish club offer as they themselves try to sign midfielder Frenkie de Jong. It could be an interesting month for both teams.


#1 Newcastle United

The January window seems to have just been made for Newcastle United to explore their options. Since the Saudi Arabian owners took over the club in October this year, the Magpies have undergone quite a few changes.

With the appointment of new manager Eddie Howe, Newcastle United are expected to bring in a number of players to revamp their squad. A handful of Premier League players have been linked and it does involve some of Manchester United's players. Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial have both been strongly linked with a move to Tyneside.

Manchester United might be hesitant in selling Martial to a Premier League club but at the same time, Newcastle have the financial strength to convince them. Only time can tell as to where Anthony Martial's future lies, but at the moment, it surely doesn't look like at Manchester United.
