Anthony Martial doubtful to face Manchester City?

13 January 2023 - 20:49

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said that Anthony Martial is doubtful to face Manchester City tomorrow.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • The Frenchman has suffered three separate injuries during the current campaign and he is again doubtful with another niggle.

    The 27-year-old has trained with the squad today, but Ten Hag said that he will be assessed ahead of the Manchester derby on Saturday.

    He told reporters: "Anthony Martial he trained this morning, so we have to wait to see how he trains. It will be decided tomorrow morning."

    "It is a small thing in his leg [with Martial] and, if he is not available for tomorrow, it will be Wednesday [at Crystal Palace]."

    If Martial is not fit for the game, he could start on the bench as well. Marcus Rashford will most likely play as the centre-forward.

    We could see Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing. The Argentine will be itching to shine against United's arch-rivals tomorrow.

    United can move within one point of second-placed Manchester City with a win tomorrow. They have not beaten them in three outings.
