Lyon are hoping to line up a loan move for Anthony Martial.

According to a report in The Metro the French side have made an enquiry about taking the 21-year-old back to Ligue 1.

Martial has been in and out of the United side this season after a dazzling start to his Old Trafford career under Louis van Gaal.

His initial transfer fee of £36m has numerous bonus payments built in which has concerned the money men at Manchester United.

Selling the former Monaco man could result in a serious loss but sending him back to France for a season could make sense in a number of ways.

Martial could return to United in a years time ready to make the big breakthrough or do enough to convince another club to make an offer for his services.

This season the 21-year-old has only started 13 Premier League matches but could be in line for a run in the team with Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruled out for the season.
