Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided an update on Marcus Rashford’s injury, after Manchester United’s 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford.
With the game goalless, the manager brought Rashford on for Daniel James in the 64th minute, but the forward was on the pitch only for a while, after being hurt during a challenge by Matt Doherty with 14 minutes to go.
Although United’s top scorer was able to briefly continue, he was withdrawn by Ole Solskjaer a few minutes later.
Speaking after the game, the Red devils boss issued an update on the fitness of Rashford and whether or not he could still play in this weekend’s Premier League clash against Liverpool.
“He’s had trouble with the back lately but that is a different matter,” Solskjaer told MUTV.
“Now we have got a different one. I don’t think it is related but he had to come off. I can say we will do everything we can to see and try to get him fit for Sunday but I can’t promise. We will manage.”
When asked again about Marcus in his post-match press conference, Ole said: “I didn’t want to play him, but we needed the win. It has backfired. I can say we’ll do everything we can to get him fit. He’s been available and fit this season. He’s a quick healer. He’s struggled lately but more when he’s tired.”
Marcus has been key for United this season. The England international has played the fourth-most amount of minutes in the League and has been prolific in front of goal. In all competitions, Rashford has scored 19 goals, and provided five assists for his team-mates.
Manchester United’s next game will be against Liverpool in the Premier League and it is unknown if Rashford will be fit in time to play the match.
