On-loan striker Weghorst struck only his second goal in 15 games in the 4-1 Europa League round-of-16 win over Real Betis, having last scored in the League Cup semi-final victory at Nottingham Forest on January 25.

Anthony Martial has missed United’s last 15 games due to a hip injury and he has been absent for 29 of United’s 43 matches this season. Martial has started 15 times for United in the last two years and Weghorst has started 15 times for United in the last two months.
