Erik ten Hag issues fitness update on Manchester United forward Anthony Martial

Martial's time at Old Trafford has been incredibly frustrating, especially considering the hype that surrounded him when he first arrived at the club from Monaco. But he has shown glimpses of the player he could be on the rare occasions he has played this season, with a brilliant brace against Manchester City the highlight. Ten Hag was asked a week ago for an update on the forward, but the Manchester United boss used the opportunity to praise Martial. The Dutch tactician told reporters (as quoted in the previously referenced Manchester Evening News report): "He's making progress, he's outside, he's working there, he's on the pitch and we're waiting for his step back in team training. He had a setback as he fell out against Everton with his back. He's had some injuries, it's really frustrating for us but also for him. We've seen him play well in pre-season. "He's had less minutes but he's scored already three goals. Against Everton, he had an important role with the first goal, his assist for Antony. It would be good to have him back because he can make the difference and score goals, but also linking up he's really important and his pressing is really good."Mood Mood Paul Merson predicts the result of Newcastle vs Chelsea and other EPL GW 16 fixtures!
