Why Martial missed the Tottenham match

The French striker was substituted with eight minutes to go during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, and the boss has now shed light on how long the 25-year-old could be on the sidelines for.

Speaking in our exclusive pre-match interview in the tunnel, just ahead of kick-off against Spurs, Solskjaer said: “Anthony, he got a slight injury on Sunday, so he will be out for a little while.”

While the severity of the injury is still to be revealed, the news of Martial's problem remains a blow as we enter the busy period of festive fixtures.
