Manchester United transfer news LIVE Man Utd takeover latest and early FA Cup Final team news
Manchester United will be without striker Anthony Martial in their upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester City as he is injured.
United travel to Wembley this weekend for a Manchester derby against City in the home of football. Erik ten Hag’s side are aiming to end their season with a second title to complement their third-place finish in the Premier League and the return of Champions League football to Old Trafford next season.
But United have been without the 27-year-old’s services after the club confirmed he will miss the Wembley tournament due to a hamstring injury. This continued in the final stages of last weekend’s 2-1 win over Fulham at Old Trafford.
That leaves Ten Hag with the question of who will take the lead for United at Wembley. Marcus Rashford and Wout Weghorst are the two remaining fit options in this area.
