Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is unsure if Anthony Martial will play for the club before the March international break.

The Frenchman is still recovering from a hip injury, having sustained various issues this term.

Martial has played fewer minutes for the team this term compared to Wout Weghorst, despite the Dutch striker signing on loan in January.

"I hope but I don't give an expectation about that," Ten Hag told reporters.

"Let him do his work. Several times now then he drops back too quickly. Give him the time.

"Of course, I hope he's on board but at this moment we're doing really well with this set-up. When he is available then we have an extra option and a good option so give him time.

"When he's back we'll be happy because we will have quality extra option, hopefully for the rest of the season."
