Manchester United have a few injuries to deal with as they host Crystal Palace tomorrow in Premier League play, but it appears that Anthony Martial is doing alright. He left the UEFA Champions League blow out win at CSKA Moscow early, with what looked like a muscle strain in his leg.
However, he’s doing fine and may be in contention for selection in this one.
Told Anthony Martial wasn't limping when #mufc returned to Manchester Airport after coming off injured in the second-half at CSKA.
