Erik Ten Hag revealed how Anthony Martial and Rasmus Hojlund could play together

Manchester United’s coach Erik Ten Hag surprised the media and the fans giving room to Anthony Martial in the team when he was asked by the French striker in the press conference ahead of the club’s next game against Copenhague in Old Trafford on the third day of the 2023/2024 Champions League’s group stage.

The Dutchman was asked by the possibility of giving minutes to Anthony Martial alongside Rasmus Hojlund, which motivated Ten Hag to explain how both players could share room in the team’s forward line, which according to the Dutchman would be totally possible due to a concrete reason, that he has proceeded to explain.

“They can play together because Anthony Martial is also available to play from the side", revealed Ten Hag, convinced to be able to give some minutes to Martial this season, despite the club would be considering to sell the player in the January transfer market window as it was reported by the English journal The Express in the last few hours.

Martial could have some minutes against Copenhague

In this sense, Martial could be expected to have some minutes on the pitch against Copenaghe coming from the bench, as he did against Sheffield United in Bramall Lane in the last Premier League game for the Red Devils, where he had 27 minutes to show his quality and improve the team, which could happen again in the next Champions League game for the Red Devils.
