The 37-year-old’s options look limited so far but there could be an opportunity to join his former Old Trafford team-mate Nani in Australia.

“Nani has had a great impact on the league so far, Charlie Austin has been fantastic. Some of the content he is putting out is really driving engagement and interest.”
Townsend said they will be looking to bring more marquee signings to the A-league in the near future.

“We have Nani. We’ve said we will be looking for more and we will continue to do that.”
