Erik ten Hag confirms double injury blow for Real Betis clash

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the club will be without Marcel Sabitzer and Anthony Martial for the Europa League meeting versus Real Betis.

The Red Devils recently suffered an embarrassing 7-0 Premier League defeat to Liverpool on the road and they will be aiming to make amends on Thursday night.

Ahead of the game, Ten Hag has confirmed that Sabitzer and Martial won't be available. The latter is back in training, but the game will come too soon for him.

United beat Barcelona to reach the last 16 stage of the Europa League and they now have another tricky challenge against Real Betis, who are currently fifth in La Liga.

Ten Hag is bound to make several changes to the starting line-up on the back of the humiliating loss at Anfield. It was the joint-worst defeat in the history of the club.

The Red Devils host Betis in the first leg of the round of 16 tie tomorrow.
