Maguire out, Martial or Rashford could feature - ETH presser
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has delivered fitness updates on three Manchester United stars ahead of Sunday’s clash against Manchester City.
The Dutch boss confirmed that Harry Maguire will not play the upcoming Manchester derby due to an injury he picked up during the international break.
While Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial could be involved in the important Etihad Stadium encounter as the duo have returned to training.
Talking to the Media, Ten Hag said: “Harry Maguire is injured. For the rest we have some doubts, Anthony Martial but he was training all week with the group, performing really well, makes a good impression. Rashford he returns into training so we are happy with that. The rest only long-term injuries are Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams.”
Big boost
Anthony Martial has only made a single league appearance for United this season due to injury issues. He was spectacular during the pre-season but missed the first two matches with a hamstring issue.
The French star returned to play against Liverpool but an Achilles problem saw him missing all the subsequent matches for United.
Marcus Rashford, who recently won the Premier League’s player of the month for September, picked up a muscle injury in the Red Devils’ 3-1 victory over Arsenal.
The 24-year-old subsequently missed England’s Nations League matches against Italy and Germany.
However, fans will be delighted to hear that both Rashford and Martial could be available for the upcoming Manchester derby.
United will need to be at their best to defeat Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City who are yet to lose a game in the English top-flight this season.
The Citizens are looking very dangerous with Erling Haaland leading their attack. The Norwegian has already bagged 11 goals in the Premier League.
The Red Devils looked short of options up-front but the availability of Rashford and Martial could give them a big boost.
City have easily won the previous two league meetings last season but they are unlikely to find easy opponents in United this campaign.
