Marcus Rashford is expected to miss the next few games.

Marcus Rashford who has scored 28 goals in 47 appearances will miss a few games due to his groin injury.

Manager Erik ten Hag expects Anthony Martial to lead the line in the absence of Rashford.

Martial has made only 17 appearances in all competitions due to his five separate injuries.

He recently came off the bench to score in United’s 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday.

The French forward is now in contention to make his first start in almost three months.

Ten Hag believes the squad plays their ‘best football’ with the Frenchman in the team.

“He is ready to start a game – against Everton he was ready to start,” said the manager.

“The stats are telling you that the moment he is on the pitch the time he needs for a goal is really less [not much]. I refer to the [home] games against Man City, against Liverpool: when he’s in the team, we play our best football and have our best results. I see how he contributes.”
