While Manchester United will miss Marcus Rashford on Wednesday due to his injury issues, Anthony Martial is expected to showcase his lethal attributes to fill the void.

On this weekend, United went on to score 6-0 to thrash the League One side Tranmere Rovers. Anthony Martial delivered a beauty just outside the box. Ahead of the mega fixture, the goal would certainly boost his morale.

Despite missing several games with his hamstring injury, Anthony Martial has garnered 12 goals and 5 assists across all competitions and is the 2nd top-goalscorer for the club this season so far.

This season, while Martial has scored some superb goals with his individual skillset, he has missed a number of good chances inside the box. When Manchester City hosted United in the Premier League earlier this term, he provided an extraordinary performance, racking up a crucial goal which decided the fate of the match.

As Manchester have got Aymeric Laporte back from injury, the battle between him and Martial would be an interesting one.
