Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been handed a setback by the news that Antony Martial is a doubt for Sunday's Premier League opener against Brighton.
The Frenchman was holding his leg as he left the pitch against Atletico Madrid in Oslo and now faces further tests to determine when he will return. His potential absence might force Ten Hag into a rethink over Cristiano Ronaldo's involvement in the clash. Ronaldo has been pushing to leave the Red Devils all summer and has barely featured in pre-season after missing their tour of Asia and Australia for family reasons.
Martial has led the line in Ronaldo's absence and impressed when doing so, scoring three goals while registering one assist. Ten Hag had reportedly decided that Martial would lead the line against Brighton this Sunday alongside Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, however that now seems unlikely.
