Erik ten Hag has admitted Anthony Martial’s poor injury record means it is difficult to rely on him as a frontline player, though the manager is insistent the striker has a future at Manchester United beyond this season.
The Frenchman’s start in Thursday’s 2-2 draw with Sevilla was his first since mid-January and was only an eighth appearance of 2023. Martial was taken off against the Spanish side, meaning he has not completed 90 minutes since September 2021, though he was loaned to Sevilla for the second half of last season.
