'He's struggling a little bit': Anthony Martial could miss Manchester United's clash with Tottenham after colliding with a post as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rules him out of LASK game
* Anthony Martial will miss Manchester United's clash with LASK through injury
* The Frenchman collided with a post during United's 2-0 victory over City
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the club would back a decision to scrap the season
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed Anthony Martial will miss out on Manchester United's Europa League round of 16 clash with LASK on Thursday.
Martial collided with a goalpost during the Manchester derby victory and Solskjaer says the Frenchman may also be unfit to play against Tottenham on Sunday.
'Anthony hurt himself when he slid into the post so he's not ready for this game,' Solskjaer told reporters.
'Hopefully he can be ready for Sunday (against Tottenham) but I'm not sure. He's struggling a little bit.'
The Red Devils boss insists United would back any decision to scrap this season's Premier League and European competitions over the coronavirus pandemic.
United will play behind closed doors for the first time in Austria on Thursday night when they face LASK in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie.

Asked if he would understand should the season be written off, Solskjaer said: 'I would understand, yes, under the circumstances.
'Of course it's up to the experts to decide. The main concern must be the health of the general public, and the decision that will be made we will back.
'These are difficult circumstances not just for football but society. We have to do what we're told and get on with the game if that's what authorities think we should do.
'We don't know what's going to happen. I think football is for fans. Without fans we are nothing anyway. The game should be always for them. Tomorrow we might get a different message or in two weeks.'
