Anthony Martial might need to do something he's not done all season to solve Man United problem

The return to fitness of Anthony Martial has become all the more important given the confirmation from Manchester United that Marcus Rashford will be absent for the foreseeable future.

United's top scorer pulled up in the 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday just minutes after setting Martial up for the second goal.

A quick chat with manager Erik ten Hag and a limp down the touchline had those inside Old Trafford fearing the worst. 'A few weeks' was the prognosis given by the club on Wednesday, with Ten Hag unable to offer a clearer picture in his pre-Sevilla press conference later the same day. "A few games," the Dutchman reiterated. "So that's the statement.

I can't give more details on it because we don't now. We'll have to see it how it develops."
