Marcus Rashford will be sidelined for a “few games” with a muscle injury Manchester United said
With Marcus Rashford out of action, Manchester United needs to look elsewhere for goals at a pivotal stage of the season.
The club’s leading scorer will be sidelined for a “few games” with a muscle injury United said Wednesday, placing doubts over his availability for the FA Cup semifinal against Brighton on April 23.
He will miss the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinal against Sevilla on Thursday but manager Erik ten Hag would not say how long the forward was expected to be out as his team remains in contention to win two more trophies this season and is challenging for Champions League qualification.
United already lifted the League Cup in February, with Rashford scoring in the 2-0 win against Newcastle at Wembley and no player has done more than him to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo's departure in November.
He has scored a career-best 28 goals this season, with 20 of those coming in 28 games since he returned from the World Cup.
The problem for United has been finding consistent goals from elsewhere in the team.
Bruno Fernandes is the second highest scorer this season with 10, meaning Ten Hag will have to hope other players can fill in while Rashford recovers.
