Manchester United have suffered a setback with news that Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard have been ruled out for two to three weeks after both picked up injuries in the first leg of the last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Lingard pulled up shortly before half-time with what appeared to be a hamstring injury while Martial was injured earlier in the game and played on until the interval but did not reappear for the second half.

“I think they will be out for two to three weeks looking at it now,” Solskjaer said in his press conference ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round tie with Chelsea.

A three-week absence would see both players missing Monday’s FA Cup tie at Chelsea, the league games with Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Arsenal and the Champions League return at PSG.

In their absence Solskjaer says Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku, alongside some of United’s younger prospects, will get a chance to prove their worth.

He said: “It is a chance for anyone who plays, whether it is Alexis, Romelu or Angel (Gomes).

“Anthony and Jesse have done really well for us, they are vital in the attacking parts with their pace.

“Romelu and Alexis have different skill sets, so we just need to gel a team together for Monday now.”
