Manchester United give update on Anthony Martial in team news vs Newcastle

Anthony Martial could return to the Manchester United squad for the first time since January 14 at Newcastle on Sunday. Martial has missed 32 of United's 46 games this season and has not played since the Manchester derby win over City nearly three months ago, when he came off at half-time.

"He's training," Ten Hag said. "So for two weeks now, I think he can be in the squad on Sunday." Ten Hag admitted ahead of the League Cup final he found Newcastle's time-wasting "annoying" and United travel to St James' Park on Sunday having won two of their five games at Newcastle since they were promoted back to the Premier League in 2017.

United beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley but were held to a goalless draw at Old Trafford in October when they were restricted to only two attempts on target. "Concern?

We know they delay, yeah," Ten Hag reiterated. "It's something that is what the refereeing doesn't want, they want to have tempo in the game, that is the aim of the Premier League: to have tempo in the game.
