Man Utd suffer major double injury blow ahead of crunch Leipzig clash




Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ruled both Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani out of Tuesday's must-not-lose Champions League clash at RB Leipzig.

Both forwards suffered injuries in Saturday's 3-1 win over West Ham in the Premier League, with Cavani replaced by Marcus Rashford at half-time and Martial withdrawn for Juan Mata just after the hour mark.

Solskjaer says the pair have just "minor niggles" but neither are fit enough to make the trip to Germany, although David de Gea and Luke Shaw will both travel.

United need a point to secure qualification for the last-16 of the Champions League, but they will drop down to the Europa League should they lose to the Bundesliga side.

In the absences of both Martial and Cavani, Solskjaer is likely to give Mason Greenwood a start after he scored at West Ham.
