Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has issued his assessment of Marcus Rashford's injury following the FA Cup victory against Wolves - and is optimistic he'll be available against Liverpool.
Rashford started the match on the bench but was introduced shortly after the hour mark when the match was still goalless, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeking a deciding goal.
That came just a few minutes later through Juan Mata but United then suffered a significant blow, as Rashford was forced off with a back injury just 16 minutes after his introduction.
While that is a major concern for United ahead of the Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, Scholes believes he will be able to feature against their rivals.
“It’s a big blow because he’s been by far and away Manchester United’s best player, he’s been their biggest goal threat,” he told BT Sports.
“I think it’s something that he actually picked up in the Manchester City game, where he got a bit of a knock on his back, but he played the Norwich game and was excellent on Saturday.
“This was an opportunity for him to have a break tonight and okay, it didn’t work out because he had to come on as United were struggling a little bit but I think he’ll be okay. Maybe a bit of ice and a couple of days rest but he’ll be alright for Sunday.”
