ANT-MAN CAN BE A MARVEL

Martial backed to take starring role for Ten Hag

ANTHONY MARTIAL will be given the chance to prove he can fill the goal void left by Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag believes the hit-and-miss striker has what it takes to get the goals needed to keep their season on track.

Rashford has been ruled out for a “few” games but Ten Hag reckons Martial’s stats show he can find the net to ensure United don’t blow their top-four hopes and any chance of more silverware.

Martial, 27, will start in tonight’s Europa League quarter-final tie against Sevilla at Old Trafford.

The France forward has scored seven goals in 17 appearances in what has been yet another injuryravaged season as he prepares for his first start since January.
