Manchester United striker Anthony Martial out of FA Cup final through injury

Manchester United announced on Tuesday that attacker Anthony Martial will miss the FA Cup final against Manchester City due to injury.

The France international suffered a hamstring injury in United’s final Premier League encounter of the season, a 2-1 win against Fulham, as they finished third with 75 points.

“Assessments have revealed a muscle tear that leaves the 27-year-old out of the Wembley clash,” the club said in a statement.

United

won the League Cup in February and will meet City in Saturday’s FA Cup final.

Martial scored nine goals in 29 appearances for Manchester United this season, but he was limited by a series of ailments.

Only 11 of his 21 league games have come off the bench, but he had hoped to be in position to start versus City, who are chasing a triple of the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
