Liverpool FC have been granted permission by Wigan Athletic to speak to Roberto Martinez about the vacant manager's job at Anfield.

Latics owner Dave Whelan has confirmed LFC owners Fenway Sports Group have made an approach for the Spaniard as they look to appoint Kenny Dalglish's successor.

"I don’t know the exact timescales of when he is due to meet with the Liverpool owners but I will never stand in Roberto’s way," Whelan said.

Martinez, 38, got Swansea promoted into the Championship before being snapped up by Wigan in 2009.

Last summer Martinez rejected the chance to take over at Aston Villa and enhanced his reputation this season by maintaining Wigan's top flight status.

At one point they appeared doomed to relegation but they took 21 points out of a possible 27 in the last nine games to finish seven points clear of the drop zone.
