Erik ten Hag has revealed Anthony Martial begged to start the Manchester derby despite suffering an injury problem which had prevented him from training in the build-up to the match.

Martial started up front for United against Manchester City, but the Frenchman was withdrawn at half-time.

The hosts fell behind to Jack Grealish's goal on the hour mark, before late strikes from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford gave Ten Hag's side a memorable 2-1 victory.
