Martial doubtful vs Man City?

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

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.
