"Inter Milan are interested in signing Anthony Martial (28, Manchester United) on a free transfer this summer," Italian outlet Calciomercato reported on Tuesday. Marcial joined United in 2015 from AS Monaco. United paid a record £57.6 million ($94.4 million) for the then-19-year-old because of his potential. The signing was a disappointment.

A farewell to Manchester United this summer is more of a foregone conclusion....
