Manchester United handed major blow as Martial could miss rest of season

Manchester United have been handed a major blow ahead of the run-in to their campaign after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that Anthony Martial is expected to miss the rest of the season through injury.

The France international limped out of Les Bleus' Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier clash with Kazakhstan last month with what was initially hoped to be a minor knock that would keep him in contention.

However, the striker is now set for an extended spell on the sidelines with a sprained knee, delivering not only a hit to United's hopes in both the Premier League and Europa League but also the attacker's chances of making the rescheduled Euro 2020 this summer.
