The Dutch tactician said that the injury does not appear serious, and Martial could be available for face Leicester City in midweek.

United registered their first points of the season in the stellar win over Liverpool. They will be hoping to continue the momentum.

The club can't take Southampton for granted, however. The Saints have picked up six draws from the last 10 meetings against United.

In Martial's absence, Marcus Rashford could continue to lead the line. Anthony Elanga appears set to play from the left wing again.
