Marcel Sabitzer has been ruled out of the Real Betis clashAlamy
A hip injury has kept Martial out of action over the past few weeks with his last appearance coming against Nottingham Forest on February 1.
The Frenchman has also had trouble with his back, hamstring and Achilles this season and has been limited to just 14 appearances.
And although he has returned to training Martial is unlikely to be included in the matchday squad, though Erik ten Hag did not rule him out completely.
He told MUTV: “I think we are quite good. The only disappointment is Marcel Sabitzer is not available, as well as Anthony Martial.
“Anthony Martial is back on the pitch, so we will see. For the rest, everyone is available and we are ready for the game.”
Ten Hag did not reveal Sabitzer’s injury, which he may have picked up at the end of United’s 7-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
Other than that it is a clean bill of health for United with Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek long-term absentees.
The Red Devils will be looking to bounce back from their Anfield humiliation as they welcome Betis to Old Trafford tonight.

Marcus Rashford spoke ahead of the game about putting the Liverpool defeat behind them, with his side still competing for more silverware this season after winning the Carabao Cup.
He said: “It’s disappointing but we can’t dwell on it and look back.
“We’re in a position where we’re still fighting on all fronts and we have a lot of games still to play. We want to put it right.”
