Manchester United will be without Anthony Martial for the visit of Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League.
The striker has endured a stuttering start to the season, having earned his place in new manager Erik ten Hag’s squad after a fine pre-season, and was forced off with another injury in the 2-1 win at Everton.

Martial will now sit out the group game and needs to be assessed ahead of the visit of Newcastle.
“Not (training) today,” Ten Hag told reports of Martial. “We will see how he develops to Sunday.”
Martial overcame hamstring and Achilles issues before sustaining a back complaint on Sunday, which has frustrated both player and head coach.
“I’ve had several talks with him about that,” he said. “I’m really disappointed for him.”
Elsewhere, Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are also absent and
there will be a decision made over Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek’s fitness.
Raphael Varane should shack off any niggles to start.
Cristiano Ronaldo should also start, supported by Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Antony.
Facundo Pellistri, Alejandro Garnacho and Zidane Iqbal are among the youngsters pushing to be included in the starting XI.
Predicted Man United XI:
De Gea;
Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia;
McTominay, Eriksen;
Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford;
Ronaldo.
