Well, here's some bad news. According to the Telegraph, Anthony Martial has been ruled out of tomorrow evening's Premier League game against West Ham United and is a doubt for the following weekend's game against Bournemouth.
Which is all very annoying. There's little to suggest that Manchester United would enhance next season's Champions League, but the prospect of pipping Manchester City to fourth place and condemning Pep Guardiola to a year in the Europa League is a very, very funny one. Sadly, this news make it look an unlikely one: West Ham are pretty good, and United without Martial are pretty ordinary.
No word yet on whether he'll be back for the FA Cup final, though if he's in contention for Bournemouth then presumably he's at least in with a shout. In the meantime, how would you like to see United lining up in the absence of their star man? We're thinking Wayne Rooney on the left, Wayne Rooney on the right, and then Wayne Rooney just off Wayne Rooney in the middle.
