Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial is a doubt for Manchester United's trip to Wolves on Tuesday after being forced off with a knock in the win over Watford.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed the France forward will be assessed - probably on Monday - having been withdrawn in the 77th minute of Saturday's 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer admitted he "does not know" the extent of Martial's problem this time, but said: "Hopefully he can be available for Tuesday. He got a bad knock. We'll check him on Monday morning, probably."

Martial scored United's second goal - his 11th of the season - against Watford just five minutes before he was replaced by Marcos Rojo, as Solksjaer's side moved level on points with third-place Tottenham, who play Liverpool on Sunday.
