According to the Daily Mirror, United chiefs are likely to block a temporary move for Martial who lost his way at Old Trafford last term under Jose Mourinho.
The Serie A outfit could come back with a bid of around £30million for the French international who started just 18 Premier League games last season.
Martial 21, move to United in September 2015 on deadline day from Monaco in a deal that could be worth up to £57.6million.
