EAGLE-EYED Manchester United supporters appear to have discovered a clip showing exactly how Anthony Martial was hurt – and they believe it was caused by his own TEAM-MATE.
The Red Devils completely collapsed in Sevilla, going down 3-0 to lose their Europa League quarter-final tie 5-2 on aggregate last night.
United were behind when Harry Maguire lost possession and Youssef En-Nesri pounced after seven minutes.
The lead was extended two minutes after the break through Loic Bade before a David de Gea blunder as he miscontrolled the ball allowed En-Nesri a second on 81 minutes.
Things got even worse for Martial as he was forced off through injury on 54 minutes.
The French striker looked like he could not move properly after his mysterious blow, leading to boss Erik ten Hag replacing him with Wout Weghorst, who failed to make any impact himself.

Fans were left wondering what had happened to Martial, but one supporter was quick to provide an answer as he shared a clip of United defending the set-piece from which Bade headed home.
And it appeared to show captain Maguire crashing into Marcel Sabitzer and his fellow team-mate while scrambling to clear the ball.
Martial then falls over clutching his foot with Sabitzer on top of him.
“Maguire injured Martial you couldn’t write it,” said one supporter.

Another commented: “My chest!!!! Maguire why!!!!! We are sorry.”
Although many defended the England defender, insisting it was actually Sabitzer’s fault, writing: “It’s actually Sabitzer. @Specsavers have a word.”
Another said: “It was Sabitzer, don’t make it worse.”
Martial now appears to be in a race against time to be fit for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final with Brighton at Wembley.
