Southampton v United | Injury news on Martial

The French forward travelled with the team to the south coast for the Premier League clash, but was ill overnight.

“Anthony fell ill overnight so he’s in the hotel by himself, poor lad,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told us before the game at St Mary’s Stadium. “So that’s the reason Ant isn’t playing.”

Edinson Cavani is on the bench after making his first United start against Istanbul Basaksehir in midweek, which the boss has also explained.

“Edinson played well in midweek but we felt Mason [Greenwood] needed a game as well to start with.”
