Marcus Rashford injury a huge blow to Manchester United
Manchester United’s star forward Marcus Rashford is set to miss the Red Devils’ Premier League game against Wolves due to injury. The Englishman previously missed a few games due to a muscle problem.
Manager Erik Ten Hag spoke to the media regarding the details of the injury. “Rashford is doubtful. As I say, doubtful, more than doubtful. He has a problem, an injury on his leg, so he is a big question mark for tomorrow. A big question mark,” he said.
When asked if this was a blow to the team’s goal threat, he said: “Definitely. We have players who can score goals and they have the chance and the opportunity now to show.”
Manchester United are currently fourth in the Premier League, a point ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool with a game in hand. They will be hoping to bounce back from their losses against Wolves and West Ham on Saturday.
