Man United get positive Anthony Martial injury update ahead of AS Roma game: report

Manchester United have been given a welcome injury boost, with Anthony Martial returning to training.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United are rooted to second place in the Premier League. That has been obvious for a while. It’s in Europe where the Red Devils can still make their mark, leading AS Roma 6-2 after the first leg.

Not too long ago, it was claimed by the Baby Faced Assassin that Martial’s season looked finished due to an injury picked up while away with France back in March.

However, L’Equipe (Tuesday print edition), translated by Sport Witness, now say different. United have been given a positive injury update on the 25-year-old, who ‘still has a good chance’ of being fit for United’s season run-in.

Apparently, Martial resumed training on Monday, though he won’t be fit enough to take on AS Roma tomorrow night, nor will he be available to play Aston Villa this weekend. After that, though, L’Equipe reckons the striker will be ready for selection.

Obviously, this is massive news. Martial hasn’t had his best season, though there’s a great chance for him to finish it strongly and maybe still keep his place within Didier Deschamps’ squad for the European Championships.

Having Martial as an option off the substitutes bench for a potential Europa League final gives Solskjaer a different option to Edinson Cavani or Mason Greenwood. That’s only a good thing.

For the striker, I guess it’s now about working up to full fitness as quickly as possible. United still have five league games to fulfil before the season ends and hopefully, he’ll feature in at least a few of those before our likely Europa League final.

Welcome back, Toto!
