Martial Set To Miss Arsenal Clash
Louis van Gaal looks set to be without Anthony Martial for SundayÛªs crunch Premier League clash with Arsenal after the striker suffered a hamstring injury.

The former Monaco star suffered the injury during the warm-up for UnitedÛªs Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland last night, causing a major worry for the weekend.

According to the Daily Mail, MartialÛªs injury is not thought to be serious, but Van Gaal will take no risks and will rest the youngster in order to avoid any serious issues.

The withdrawal of the forward on Thursday evening allowed youngster Marcus Rashford a place on the substitutes bench. The young Englishman was handed his debut and amazingly bagged two goals, much to the delight of the Old Trafford faithful.
