Man Utd team news: Martial ‘to start’ - French media make claim days after LEAK revelation
MANCHESTER UNITED striker Anthony Martial will start against Juventus tonight - French media have claimed.
Man Utd: Juventus clash will be too big for players says Hislop
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is said to be frustrated that team news has been leaked from his dressing room in recent weeks.
But is this another leak or merely a bold prediction?
French TV station RMC Sport claim Anthony Martial will definitely start for United against Juve in the Champions League tonight.
The France international scored twice for United at the weekend in the 2-2 draw at Chelsea.
His double would have earned United victory had Ross Barley not popped up in stoppage time to earn Chelsea a draw.
Reports emerged after the game suggesting Mourinho had started a probe into how Chelsea became aware of his tactics for the Premier League showdown.
Mourinho had decided to start Juan Mata in a deeper role in midfield - but it was read by Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.
Mourinho’s plans were also supposedly leaked during United’s 3-1 loss to West Ham earlier in the season.
Manchester United train ahead of Juventus clash
Martial would be expected to start this game, especially after scoring two at the weekend.
The France international has run hot and cold under manager Mourinho but appears to be in the Manchester United manager’s good books for now.
He is likely to start on the left side of attack tonight, with Marcus Rashford on the opposite flank.
Alexis Sanchez is out of the fixture, so Mata may move to a more forward role, with Romelu Lukaku up front.
