Rashford to miss next game with injury picked up by celebrating at Chelsea (Sun)
Man utd injury updates:
Manchester United's injury woes may have worsened with Marcus Rashford reportedly a doubt for Saturday's trip to face Bournemouth.
The Sun report that the United striker could miss the lunchtime kick-off on the south coast due to injuring his knee with a slide celebration in midweek against Chelsea.
And so if Rashford does miss the match against Bournemouth through injury, it will represent a major blow for United following their recent upturn in form, helped largely by the form of Rashford.
Solskjaer even admitted recently that he cannot afford to rest the England international, such is the side's reliance on him.
'At the moment we can't really give him a break because we've had injuries,' Solskjaer told Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville before the Liverpool home game.
'Anthony [Martial] has been out for eight weeks now. So he's had to play loads more football than I'd hoped.
'Marcus is a centre forward who can play left, right and as a No 10. He wants to be able to play all the positions.
'I want him to be facing the goal, I want to be direct and attacking quickly, so at the moment I see him coming in off the left or as part of a two up front.'
