Man United handed major injury blow for Liverpool clash to rattle Arsenal’s Invincibles hopes

Manchester United have been dealt a potential injury blow after Marcus Rashford was forced off injured during their FA Cup third-round replay with Wolves.

Rashford has been in superb form for United this season, scoring 19 goals across all competitions this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opted to leave the 22-year-old on the bench for United's FA Cup replay against Wolves on Wednesday night, with rumours he was carrying a minor knock.

However, after entering the field, Rashford was forced off injured after only 15 minutes.

Whilst it appears it was a collision with a Wolves player, injuring his back, that caused the problem on Wednesday night, a muscular injury could also see him miss their upcoming matches.

Speaking ahead of kick-off, Solskjaer revealed that United were having to manage his game time, which is why he was left out of the starting XI.

"I think it is [a case of managing his workload]," Solskjaer told  MUTV.

"He has played, him and Harry, have played the most football for us and David [de Gea], of course. He is a young boy so we need to look after him. Hopefully, we can see Dan back to his best in that position and Mason.

"I think both teams want to go through and we have good memories from the cups. We have got loads of games at the moment. There are a couple of positions we have changed in but we feel we have a strong team out."

United travel to Liverpool on Sunday to face league-leaders Liverpool before games against Burnley, Manchester City, Wolves and Chelsea, in the next month.
