A call for duty,Saving the best for the last! Is Martial ready for Arsenal Clash?

Manchester United are facing a huge mountain to climb as they face French giants PSG in a UEFA clash and as though that is not enough, they face London based Arsenal is what is seen as a clash an fight for the top four.

In readiness for the clash, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be saving Anthony Martial for Manchester United’s clash with Arsenal this weekend.

The Frenchman has been out of action since picking up an injury in the Champions League first leg defeat to PSG last month.

United have since travelled to Paris for the second leg on, trailing 2-0.They face an uphill battle to qualify for the quarter-finals with Solskjaer without as many as 10 players due to injury and suspension.

Martial is set to be among them with Solskjaer admitting after the win over Crystal Palace that he didn’t think the forward would be ready.

“I don’t think we can risk it. He has not been training yet so I don’t think so,” Solskjaer said.

It is claimed Martial is ready to take on the French champions and is suggested he could have featured on Wednesday night but Solskjaer would rather ensure he is fit for the clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

United will travel to the Emirates in what looks to be a huge clash in the race for the top four. And it would appear the encounter has taken on even greater importance ahead of the clash with PSG, which now appears beyond the Red Devils recovery.

Paul Pogba is suspended for United, while Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are still sidelined.

Alexis Sanchez is also out for around six weeks, joining Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian and Phil Jones on the sidelines.

PSG could welcome Edinson Cavani back into their squad for the clash but the Uruguayan striker is unlikely to start.
