Martial is not in Solskjaer’s matchday squad for the visit of Burnley

Martial has been in sensational form since the former Red Devils striker took over, playing with the sort of fearlessness which made him a firm favourite at Old Trafford.While it unsure what the nature of the injury is, Solskjaer explained to MUTV it is nothing too trivial.He said: “He got a slight injury in training, hopefully he will be back for next weekend but no chance today.”Martial scored in United’s last game, coming off the bench at the Emirates to add the third goal as they knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup, courtesy of a 3-1 win.2

Pereira starts for United at Old Trafford

In his place, Solskjaer replaced the 23-year-old with creative midfielder Andreas Pereira instead.With Ander Herrera also not starting, the United boss stressed the need to rotate and explained Pereira’s inclusion.“Hes been fantastic is training, really determined,” Solskjaer said.“He was disappointed in his game against Reading but we had a little chat about it and hes been really working hard and he really wants a chance, of course Ander has been different class. “But we need to rotate a little bit because theres a couple of niggles coming on so we need to rotate.”Manchester United XI to face Burnley:De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Jones, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Pereira, Mata, Rashford, Lukaku.
