He went on to miss France's midweek clash with Bosnia-Herzegovina and ultimately the Brighton tie.

At the time, France head coach Didier Deschamps downplayed the severity of the knee injury, insisting it was not serious.

However, Solskjaer has come out to reveal Martial may not return before the end of the ongoing season. Solskjaer told MUTV.

"Unfortunately, he sprained his knee with France. It’s always when they go away on internationals… you can keep your fingers crossed and hope they come back fit.

"Losing Anthony for what might be the rest of the season is very disappointing, especially when reports from there [France] was that it wasn’t anything serious but it looks a bad one."

The Norwegian blamed the international break on the 25-year-old's injury, insisting his absence will have a significant impact on the team.

Be that as it may, United will be boosted by the availability of Edinson Cavani who appear to have shaken off his own injury concerns.
