Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gives Marcus Rashford injury update over ending Liverpool's Invincibles bid

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an update on Marcus Rashford's fitness ahead of their weekend clash against Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's team are unbeaten in the Premier League this season, and aiming to match Arsenal's incredible Invincibles feat during the 2003/04 season.

But up next for Klopp's side is the old rivalry against Manchester United, the only team to have taken points from them in the league this season with a 1-1 draw between the two teams at Old Trafford in October.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on that day, before a late equaliser from Adam Lallana. However, United's striker could be set to miss the trip to Anfield after picking up an injury.

Jurgen Klopp on thinking about the Invincibles

The striker was a substitute for the FA Cup third round replay against Wolves in midweek, but with the scores level at 0-0 he was introduced by Solskjaer.

However, within a matter of minutes he hurt his back in a challenge and had to be taken off - and Solskjaer revealed that he is not confident about the striker's fitness for Sunday.

"I can't tell you now," he told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"As I said with Harry a few weeks ago, of course we’re gonna give him the absolute amount of time to find out.

"We’ll do some more checks and treatment with him today, yesterday was a recovery day.

"I’m not gonna hold my breath I would probably think he wouldn't be ready but let’s see. 48 hours, so let’s see."
