Manchester United handed injury blow as squad to face Liverpool revealed

Manchester United have been dealt an injury blow ahead of their showdown with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

United are likely to be without Marcus Rashford who is not in the matchday squad travelling to Anfield.

Reports from the Manchester Evening News suggest the England striker will not make the short trip up the East Lancs Road with his team-mates.

Rashford had to be substituted during United's 1-0 win against Wolves in the FA Cup last Wednesday after suffering a back injury.

The 22-year-old has scored 19 times in all competitions for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, with 14 of those goals coming in the Premier League.

On Friday, the United boss confirmed it would be a late decision whether Rashford would feature against Liverpool.

Speaking in his press conference Solskjaer said: "I can't tell you now.

"As I said with Harry [Maguire] a few weeks ago, of course we're going to give him the absolute amount of time to find out.

"We'll do some more checks and treatment with him today, yesterday, of course, was just a recovery day and some treatment for him. I've not see him this morning.

"I'm not going to hold my breath. I would probably think he wouldn't be ready but let's see. it's 48 hours [away], more than that, so let's see."

Manchester United squad members as reported by the MEN

De Gea, Romero, Grant, Jones, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Williams, Bailly, Maguire, Dalot, Shaw, Lingard, Matic, Fred, Pereira, Gomes, Mata, Chong, James, Martial, Greenwood.
