Manchester United are set to confirm a boost over Anthony Martial's knee injury.

Martial collected the strain while on international duty with France last week, with reports in England that his season could be over.

However, L'Equipe via Le 10 Sport says the striker could play again later this month. It's reported Martial's injury isn't as serious as first stated and that he could be up and playing again in three weeks' time.

The news is a huge boost for both United and France, where Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps is planning to include Martial in his Euros squad this summer. The report from France arrived 48 hours after there were concerns expressed by United that Martial would miss the remainder of the season.

Before victory over Brighton on Sunday, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "He unfortunately sprained his knee with the France team. It's always when they go to the national team. Let's cross our fingers to get him back in shape.

"Losing Anthony, potentially for the rest of the season, is very disappointing. Especially since the echoes from France suggested that it was not serious. But it looks bad."

So far this season, Martial has managed 36 appearances for United, scoring seven goals and producing eight assists.
