West Ham reportedly keen on Manchester United striker.
West Ham are dreaming of signing Manchester United striker Anthony Martial, report French website Le10Sport.
The outlet reports that West Ham realise they have little chance of getting the France international outright, but would insist on a deal as part of any swap deal for star man Dimitri Payet if United made a bid.

Martial signed for Manchester United from Monaco last season and made an instant impression for Louis van Gaal’s side, scoring on his debut against Liverpool.
He netted against West Ham last season too, as well as in the FA Cup semi-final against Everton, but has had a disappointing start to this season under new boss Jose Mourinho.
Despite his second season stumble, Martial is regarded at United as a player who is key to their future, and it is unlikely they would allow him to leave.
The report adds that Martial is not likely to be keen on a move to the Hammers.
West Ham’s Dimitri Payet
The Manchester Evening News reported last week that Manchester United hold an interest in Dimitri Payet, who is a player whose talent deserves a team better than one fighting relegation.
It will be up to West Ham to show that his future should be with them, so his final few peak years are not wasted.
