Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Man United forward unlikely to play again this season

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he would be ‘very surprised’ if Anthony Martial plays again this season.

The Frenchman suffered an injury during the international break and missed United’s last game against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Martial has scored seven goals and assisted eight this season, with Edinson Cavani pushing him for his spot.

Speaking ahead of the match against Granada this week, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that it is unlikely United fans will see Martial again this season.

“Anthony has started his recovery and, if we see him before the end of the season, I will be very surprised,” Solskjaer explained to Man United’s official website.
