Manchester United suffer Anthony Martial injury blow against Everton

Anthony Martial has been forced off in the first half of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park.

The France international emerged as a doubt for the match just before kickoff when he appeared to pick up a hip problem during the warm-up.

Martial ultimately started the contest and was involved in Man United's leveller in the 15th minute, setting up Antony, who found the back of the net with a low finish.

However, the attacker appeared to be struggling with the hip issue that he suffered before the match, which led to his withdrawal in the 29th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo was Martial's replacement, and the Portugal international managed to find the back of the net in the 44th minute to send Man United into a half-time lead.

Martial, who had netted three times off the bench in his two appearances before this match, has struggled with hamstring and Achilles problems this season, and the 26-year-old could now be facing another spell on the sidelines with the latest problem.
