Manchester United give team news updates on Antony, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial vs Aston Villa

Manchester United could still be without Jadon Sancho, Antony and Anthony Martial against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Sancho missed the wins over Real Sociedad and West Ham through illness while Antony was absent due to a leg injury.

Martial resumed training this week but has been sidelined for the last four weeks with a back problem and the Frenchman has only played in four of United's 18 games.

"It'd difficult to say in this moment," United manager Erik ten Hag said. "I have to talk with the medical, with performance. They did a programme in Manchester, I have to hear how that progress was and if they can be available for Sunday."

Martial was unavailable for the first three weeks of the season because of a hamstring injury sustained in United's penultimate pre-season friendly against Atletico Madrid.

The 26-year-old came on in the 2-1 win over Liverpool but then suffered an Achilles injury and was out for six weeks.

In the four games Martial has appeared in this term, he has either provided an assist or scored in each one. Martial played in Marcus Rashford for the winning goal against Liverpool, scored twice at Manchester City, struck again in the 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia and created Antony's equaliser at Everton.

Victor Lindelof could start ahead of Harry Maguire again at Villa Park while Marcus Rashford is expected to be recalled after he came off the bench against Sociedad.
