Confirming the news of Rashford's serious setback, Solskjaer said: "He has suffered a bad injury.

"It is a stress fracture that happened against Wolves. He will be out for a while for us.

"He won't be back until after the mid-season break. Usually a stress fracture is six weeks to heel and then he will need to recover after that."
