It is a further blow for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of United's FA Cup third round tie at Wolves on Saturday after losing influential midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay to injury.

"There are a couple of niggles, well not niggles, illnesses and colds, which is normal for this time," Solskjaer told a news conference on Friday.

"I'll have to see who wakes up tomorrow [Saturday] and feels OK. Today [Friday] we have got a training session as well."

Martial and Lingard are both now doubtful for the trip to Molineux -- where United were knocked out of the FA Cup last season -- while Pogba, McTominay, and Axel Tuanzebe have already been ruled out.

Solskjaer has said Sergio Romero will play in goal in place of David De Gea and Mason Greenwood is also set to start.
