As reported by The Evening Standard, Arsenal will not be pursuing the signature of Manchester United star Anthony Martial this summer.

What's the story?

On the fringes of the Man United first team under Jose Mourinho, there's been rumblings recently that the French international will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

However, it appears Arsenal aren't a potential destination.

That's according to The Evening Standard, who report that the Gunners are unlikely to follow up their January interest in the £60m-rated attacker, even if he's set to exit the Red Devils.

Is that the right decision, or should Arsene Wenger reconsider and chase his signature?

Should Arsenal go for him?

While it's true the Gunners now have plenty of attacking talent available in their first team squad, a player of Anthony Martial's standard is only going to improve that and could well be an upgrade on players like Alex Iwobi, who has struggled to perform consistently this season.

Alongside the likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Martial could help usher in a new era of Arsenal and contribute massively.

With 11 goals and 10 assists this term for United without being a first pick in Mourinho's team, he's proven he is more than capable of performing at the standard required for a club like Arsenal.

If he's available, his signing is something Wenger should strongly consider.
