Martial will be heading for scans this week after he suffered an injury to his left thigh during the 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on weekend.
The Frenchman was barely able to make movements in the final few minutes but he managed to stay on the pitch until the end since manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had no more substitutions to make.
Martial, who has scored twice in English Premier League this season, will undergo tests this week as the club's medical staff try to sort the damage.
Sanchez is disappointed as his hopes of joining Inter Milan before the European Transfer Deadline on Sep. 2. The Italian club are pushing so hard to negotiate a loan deal for Alexis Sanchez with an option to buy him next season which would see Manchester United pay a part of his £391,000-a-week wages this season.
Sources have told SOCCER GIST that the two clubs are yet to finalise a deal and Martial's injury has put the talk on hold, further with manager Solskjaer being concerned as he lacks option up front.
Romelu Lukaku has already joined Inter Milan scoring on his debut on Sunday, leaving Manchester United manager with just three strikers; Martial, Rashford and 17-year-old Mason Greenwood.
Sanchez is yet to play this season as he keeps recovering from his hamstring injury but his exit would minimise manager Solskjaer's options ahead of a busy season in the English Premier League and the Europa League. Sanchez has managed just five goals in his 45 games for United since arriving from Arsenal in early January 2018.
Also, Marcos Rojo could leave Old Trafford before the European deadline. The defender has not made the match day squad in United's first three matches of the season and sources have told SOCCER GIST that the France duo Marseille and Monaco as well as Italian side AC Milan are interested in signing the defender.
