Anthony Martial has agreed to join second placed Sevilla on loan from Manchester United.
The 26-year-old will remain with the La Liga club until the end of the season, with the club covering all of his salaries and benefits.
On Tuesday, Martial will travel from Paris, where he is now based, to Seville, where he will face medical examination.

Despite interest from Juventus and Barcelona, the attacker has always wanted to join Sevilla this month because he feels it is where he would have the best opportunities to play.
Earlier this month, it was claimed that Anthony Martial wants to leave Manchester United in order to get more playing time.
When he signed for United from Monaco in 2015, he became the world’s most expensive teenager. He went on to score 79 goals in 269 appearances for the club, making him the most expensive teenager in the world.
Nevertheless, he has fallen out of favour in the forward positions with the summer additions of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho, as well as the rise of Mason Greenwood, who has replaced him.

Martial has appeared in only four games for Manchester United this season, and Ralf Rangnick, the club’s interim manager, has accused him of requesting not to play in the 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on January 15. Martial has made just four appearances for the Red Devils this season.
This was denied by the France international, and Rangnick afterwards stated that the problem had been “settled.”
As a result of Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo, Sevilla are presently in second place in La Liga, only four points behind Real Madrid, and are chasing their first La Liga championship since 1946 in the process.
