The Frenchman caused a scare when he jugged back into the tunnel as the team came out for for their warm up against Norwich.
A match he missed. And with Rashford not in the match squad, Wayne Rooney has to step into the field as a striker.
Van Gaal has however allayed fears, by saying he took a precautionary measure not playing the 20 year old.
"Anthony felt something and I’m a manager who is not taking risks." He told MUTV.
“Especially not in his situation and I said this to Anthony because he has played most of all the matches, like Daley Blind and Chris Smalling.”
“He is 20 years old. I have to take care of him so he didn’t play and Wayne had to play the striker’s position. He gave an assist to Juan Mata and it has been solved very well.”
"I think you have to be fit - especially in this weather as that is a big difference. We have to see tomorrow (Sunday) if the muscle is tight."
United fans will be hoping Martial injury is not serious as the club enters into it's most important must win last set of matches.
