Hit in the hamstrings, the Frenchman will not be in the Cup final against Manchester City next Saturday.

Manchester United’s French striker Anthony Martial will miss Saturday’s FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City with a hamstring injury, the club announced on Tuesday. “The France international strained his hamstrings late in the game in the 2-1 win over Fulham at Old Trafford on Sundayin the Premier League, United said in a statement.

«Examinations have since revealed a torn muscle which rules out the 27-year-old from the Wembley encounter“, continued his club. Martial has scored nine goals in 29 appearances this season, which has been interrupted by several injuries.

He has started just 11 times in his 21 league appearances but was hoping to be able to start at Wembley against City, who are chasing the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble. United finished the Premier League season in 3rd place.
