Erik Ten Hag was hence, questioned on the availability of his key player for the clash against Newcastle at the Wembley stadium, to which the United boss replied that he did not know and that they had yet to do medical investigations on the players.
He went ahead to say that previously they did some tests but since it was straight after the match, they couldn’t say anything with surety, hence they have to wait for a 100% diagnosis.
Ten Hag also made a confirmation regarding French forward Anthony Martial, and stated that he was definitely not going to participate in the clash at Wembley since he has had an injury-infested season and would be indulging in an individual training session this week.
The Red Devils have been deprived of a trophy for six long years; Ten Hag has overturned the fortunes of the club in the past few months since his joining by keeping United running across all major competitions till now; however, a trophy this season would seal his legacy.
