Simon Deli was sent off for handball in the 22nd minute before goals from winter signings Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo put United well in front by the 35-minute mark.

Scott McTominay added a third just before the break to put the tie out of reach before Fred scored twice in the final 10 minutes to complete the scoring. 

Solskjaer, who was already without injured stars Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, said before after match he didn't know how long Martial would be out of action.

"He went off in training," said Solskjaer.

"He had treatment, he tried [to play against Brugge]. He reported and had a fitness test. It's his thigh, it's in and around the knee."
