Martial injury confirmed by Solskjaer as Man Utd striker misses Club Brugge clash

Anthony Martial has been forced to sit out Manchester United's clash with Club Brugge due to injury, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.

The Red Devils will play host to the Belgian club in a Europa League round of 32 second-leg tie on Thursday night, with the tie finely poised following a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at Jan Breydel Stadium.

Martial scored a crucial equaliser in the first leg after capitalising on a moment of confusion in the Brugge defence, and scored his 15th goal of the season three days later in a 3-0 Premier League win over Watford.
