This makes the complete resting of Marcus Rashford look all the more hasty.
For the second time this season, Anthony Martial has pulled out of a game after aggravating an injury in the pre-match warm-up.
Wayne Rooney will now play up front for United, instead of midfield, after the 15-goal striker tweaked a groin strain at Carrow Road.
This is the moment Martial new the jig was up.

Last time that happened, in the Europa League, Rashford replaced Martial and scored a brace.
Unfortunately for United, Louis van Gaal has left the teenager out of the matchday squad completely, and left him in Manchester, due to “work-load”.
The late withdrawal means United start a must-win game with just six subs on the bench.
