Erik ten Hag has backed Anthony Martial to replace Manchester United’s injured top scorer, Marcus Rashford, by pointing to the Frenchman’s goalscoring ratio and insisting he is not concerned about his ability to stay fit.
United announced on Wednesday that Rashford, who has 28 goals in 47 appearances, will be out for “a few games” because of a muscle problem the England forward suffered in the 81st minute of Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford. This means he will miss Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg visit of Sevilla, Sunday’s trip to Nottingham Forest and, almost certainly, next week’s return game at the Spanish club.
