Martial training

Anthony Martial appears to have recovered from his injury woes and was pictured training with Manchester United just a day after the club claimed he was struggling with a knock.

The France international looked set to face Liverpool on Monday night at Anfield after tweeting he was ‘ready for tonight’ on the day in question.

But his involvement in the match soon became shrouded in controversy as he deleted the tweet and was pictured with his girlfriend with a face mask on.

The 20-year-old missed the goalless draw and United confirmed the day after he had missed the match with a knock picked up on Saturday.

Their claim his injury was picked up at the weekend seems particularly strange when combined with him tweeting he was taking part on the Monday itself.

The club also said Mourinho would provide an update on his fitness on Wednesday but he is already back in full training, which suggests he’s fit and in contention to face Fenerbahce on Thursday night.

That is obviously good news for United fans but there will no doubt be conspiracy theorists who will question exactly why he was missing against Liverpool.

Here are some snaps of the rest of the squad heading out to training:
