Misses big chance in victory Martial fired two shots (none on-target) and missed a big chance in Tuesday's 3-0 rout of Bournemouth.

Impact Martial could have been more effective in his striking role on Tuesday. He did not manage any shots-on-target and missed a big chance. He was subbed after 69 with an injury, hopefully it will be minor and not a recurrence of the Achilles issue that had him out for some weeks back in the fall. United will need him back and at his attacking best for their next game against Manchester rivals, City. From eight appearances (five starts) he has delivered three goals and two assists.

Impact Martial found the back of the net with a clinical finish and has picked up where he left off before the break totaling now five shots over his past two starts alone. Despite missing plenty of time with injuries he's been extremely productive with four goals and two assists already in just seven appearances (three starts).

Takes three shots against Fulham Martial took three shots (two on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Fulham. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Martial started just his second Premier League game of the season on Sunday, and he posed some danger to the opposing defense as he lined up at striker. He will want to ensure he is fully fit coming out of the other side of the World Cup break as he's already missed multiple significant chunks of this campaign due to injuries.

Man United rallies to beat Aston Villa 4-2 in League Cup

Manchester United twice came from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-2 Thursday and advance to last 16 of the English League Cup, a day after several other big teams were eliminated

Scores in Carabao Cup Martial scored once during Thursday's 4-2 win over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.

Impact Martial made his first start since coming back from a long-term back injury and scored during 62 minutes on the pitch. The forward seems to be behind the in-form Marcus Rashford in the Premier League and European competition. Martial has made one start and five appearances in the Premier League, though he's scored three times and assisted twice in that time.

Features off bench in loss Martial (back) subbed in and played the final 25 minutes of Sunday's 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa.

Impact Martial made his first appearance in almost a month Sunday after recovering from a back injury, but he was held quiet by Villa as his side slumped to a defeat. Even when fully fit, Martial is likely behind Marcus Rashford in the center forward depth chart, with Cristiano Ronaldo always in the mix as well.

Doubtful versus Aston Villa Martial's (back) status against Aston Villa on Sunday remains in doubt after manager Erik ten Hag told reporters, "It's difficult to say in this moment. I have to talk with the med...

Impact Martial has been out of action since Oct. 9 versus Everton, his lone start of the season. At this point, the forward shouldn't be expected to slot into the starting XI given his extended injury absence and likely figures to make an appearance or two off the bench.

Won't play Thursday Martial (back) will stay at his club's training ground instead of traveling for Thursday's UEL match against Real Sociedad, it was announced Wednesday.

Impact Martial returned to training Monday but evidently needs more time to prove his fitness. He'll now target Sunday's match against Aston Villa to make his return, but he'll have missed seven consecutive matches after Thursday and will have to manage his recovery carefully.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to team training Martial (back) returned to team training Monday, Manchester United announced.

Impact Martial returned to team training Monday, giving him a strong chance to be active for Thursday's Europa League clash with Sociedad. Martial has been out for six matches after picking up the back injury during a 2-1 win over Everton earlier in October.

Yet to resume full training Martial (back) still isn't training with the first team, effectively ruling him out against West Ham United on Sunday though he could be back before the World cup break. Manager Er...

Impact Martial will have two November matches in which he could return to the squad if he is in fact going to play before the break. It's no doubt been a frustrating season for the forward as he was injured in his first start of the season after having previously missed seven contests due to injury. Still, when fit, Martial has been fantastic with three goals on three shots (three on target) and two assists in four contests.

Out another match Martial (back) will remain out for Saturday's trip to Chelsea, according to manager Erik ten Hag. "Martial? He was on the [training] pitch, but he's not available for tomorrow. We...

Impact As with any back issue, the details are limited and timeline unknown for Martial. He'll need a few days of full training before being risked to go into the starting XI again. However, given the recent happenings of Cristiano Ronaldo, it's become clear that Martial is needed for the United attack, as they don't have a ton of bench options at the moment.

Remains out Wednesday Martial (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Erik ten Hag. "Anthony Martial is not available. He's back on the pitch but not in t...

Impact Martial will miss a third straight game between the league and UEL following this announcement from his manager. Once he returns to training, it will be a little easier to anticipate his presence. Instead, it's up to Cristiano Ronaldo or Marcus Rashford to start at striker for this visit from Spurs.

Out Sunday against Newcastle Martial (back) didn't make the team sheet for Sunday's match against Newcastle United.

Impact Martial has been out all week with a back issue and couldn't do enough to make himself available. His loss is notable after scoring three times and logging an assist in three games to open October but now he'll miss a second straight contest. Cristiano Ronaldo has entered the lineup over Martial and Marcus Rashford for the moment.

Doubt versus Newcastle Martial (back) could be available for Sunday's match against Newcastle, but according to manager Erik ten Hag, they have to "wait to see how it (his back) develops in the coming ho...

Impact This isn't an overly positive update on Martial's back after he made it just 29 minutes last weekend after tweaking it in warmups. It's hard to see him starting Sunday given the issue with Cristiano Ronaldo slated for another call in the XI. While Ronaldo started on Thursday, ten Hag hasn't rotated a ton in the midweek matches.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Sunday Martial (back) is unlikely to be available for Thursday's UEL match against Omonia Nicosia and should be a game-time decision for Sunday's visit from Newcastle United, according to...

Impact Martial only just made his first start of the season in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton but only lasted 29 minutes into that appearance. He's still scored three times and logged one assist in his last three games and will hope to keep up his efforts as long as he's not out for too long. Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford are the other available options at striker, with Ronaldo most recently replacing Martial following his injury.

Picks up back issue Martial is dealing with a back issue, according to manager Erik ten Hag. "I cannot tell what it is or how serious it is. Let's wait for the first 24 hours and see how serious it is...

Impact Martial picked up the issue prior to the match and still went ahead and even assisted on his team's opener before going out in the 29th minute. Given his injury history, it wouldn't be surprising if this forced him to miss some time. It makes the most sense that he'll be rested for the midweek Europa League match Thursday.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves hurt early versus Everton Martial (leg) left the pitch during the 29th minute of Sunday's match with Everton. Prior to departing, he logged an assist on one chance created.

Impact Martial was somewhat hobbled from the opening kick, and it appeared that he was working through a bit of a hip issue in pre-game warm ups. In any event, he was feeling fit enough to assist on United's first score in this contest - an Antony goal in the 15th. He was replaced in the 29th by Cristiano Ronaldo. Any extended absence for Martial could mean more run and fantasy value in the near-term for the likes of Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho.
