Manchester United defender Phil Jones is left out of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Europa League squad to travel to Germany as he stays home to recover from knee injury

* Phil Jones won't be involved in the Europa League's conclusion due to injury
* Jones will stay in England as he continues his recovery from a knee problem
* United are planning to offer goalkeeper Dean Henderson another new contract

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has been left out of this week’s Europa League tournament squad to work on a knee injury.

Jones was named in United’s 30-man squad for the Europa finals, but will now stay at home to continue an individual fitness programme. The 28-year-old England international hasn’t played since January.

‘Jonah has had a difficult season with niggles. He has had troubles with his knees,’ said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The rest of the United players fly to Cologne on Sunday for the completion of this season’s Europa League. They face FC Copenhagen in the quarter-finals on Monday.

Meanwhile, United plan to offer keeper Dean Henderson a new contract for the second time in just over a year.

Henderson, 23, has excelled on loan at Sheffield United but is understood to be frustrated about his prospects as second choice to David de Gea.

Eric Bailly sidelined for three to four weeks with muscle injury in blow to Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of tough run of games against Chelsea, RB Leipzig and Arsenal

* Defender Eric Bailly will be ruled out until the international break in November
* Bailly is set to miss a tough run of games in the Premier League and Europe
* He didn't make the trip to France for Tuesday night's victory over PSG
* Solskjaer fielded Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe in Paris

Eric Bailly will be sidelined for the next three to four weeks with a muscle injury in a blow to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Ivorian centre-back didn't make the trip to France for United's 2-1 Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, having been an unused substitute in Saturday's 4-1 win at Newcastle United.

Speaking after the win over PSG, Solskjaer confirmed he doesn't expect Bailly to feature again before next month's international break.

It means Bailly will miss upcoming fixtures against Chelsea, RB Leipzig, Arsenal, Istanbul Basaksehir and Everton in a packed schedule of Premier League and Champions League games.

It is just the latest injury setback for the 26-year-old, who has been sidelined for more than 300 days with knee and ankle problems since signing for United from Villarreal in 2016.

Captain and fellow central defender Harry Maguire also didn't make the trip to Paris but is expected to return for the Chelsea game at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.

Solskjaer went with three central defenders at the Parc des Princes with Victor Lindelof and Axel Tuanzebe paired with Luke Shaw.

Eric Bailly will be sidelined for three to four weeks with a muscle injury in a blow to Man United. The Ivorian defender has made four appearances, including three starts, for United this season. The news comes as a blow to United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of testing fixtures. Bailly's one Premier League start this season came in the 6-1 thrashing by Tottenham Hotspur

United produced a fine performance to win their Champions League opener 2-1 with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

Bailly has played four times for United so far this season. He made a substitute appearance in the final stages of the opening-weekend defeat by Crystal Palace before starting the two Carabao Cup games against Luton Town and Brighton in September.

With Lindelof struggling, Bailly replaced him to partner Maguire for the 6-1 defeat by Tottenham on October 4.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms TRIPLE injury blow in Manchester United's win at Everton as Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof limp off the Goodison Park pitch on Saturday

* Manchester United beat Everton 3-1 on Saturday after three games without a win
* Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani scored for the Red Devils
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Rashford, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof have injuries
* There is also concern for goalkeeper David De Gea who has a groin problem

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed Manchester United suffered three injury setbacks involving Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof during their 3-1 win at Everton.

The Red Devils came from behind at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime thanks to first-half goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford after Bernard had put the Toffees in front early on.

Edinson Cavani netted his first goal for the club in the 95th minute to seal the points but Solskjaer has revealed there is bitter news to come from their first victory in three matches in all competitions, including some concern for David De Gea.

Solskjaer confirmed Marcus Rashford also picked up a shoulder issue after a foul by Bernard

When asked if there were any injuries at Everton, Solskjaer told MUTV: 'Yes. Victor's back, Marcus's shoulder, Luke Shaw's hamstring. That's three I can remember from the top of my head.

'I hope everyone else is okay. David didn't play [in midweek] but he had a groin problem before the game.'

Both Lindelof and Rashford lasted the full 90 minutes in Merseyside on Saturday, but Shaw had to be withdrawn by Solskjaer after 67 minutes for Axel Tuanzebe due to the hamstring problem.

Luke Shaw was forced off the 3-1 win at Everton in the second-half due to a hamstring problem

In his post-match interview with BT Sport, Solskjaer slammed the 'football authorities' for the lack of rest time given to the club following their Champions League game in midweek.

United were beaten 2-1 by Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday night and did not get back home until four o'clock in the morning on Thursday. Solskjaer was furious that his side were forced to play at Everton just over 48 hours after their return.

'Our boys were set up to fail today with the scheduling,' he raged. 'How can you expect players to perform with the 12.30 kick off time? It's an absolute joke.

'Of course we tried to move this game. What sense was there playing Saturday lunchtime when we could play Sunday because of the international break afterwards.

'I pushed my club to really fight on this one to give us half a chance. But it was just quashed and we were told "No, it's been selected".'

The Manchester United boss, who is under intense pressure at Old Trafford after a slow start to the Premier League season, pointed as the large amount of injuries felt by the clubs since the start of the campaign in September.

Solskjaer added: 'There have been too many serious injuries in the Premier League this season that can be from physical or mental fatigue.

'We want this product to be the best in the world. We don't want it to harm any player. These are difficult times for everyone, not just football, and we need to look after everyone.

'Use common sense, and sort out the schedule. This is such a serious issue, that we don't look after these players. They are not robots, they are human beings.'

Luke Shaw's injury leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeing red after he vented his anger at the congested fixture list, with Manchester United defender facing a month out

* Man United are furious after Luke Shaw was ruled out for a month with injury
* United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has vented his frustration over the schedule
* He felt his side were forced to play too soon after their Champions League clash
* United played Everton on Saturday after arriving home on Thursday morning
* Shaw will now be sidelined along with both Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof

Manchester United are furious after Luke Shaw was ruled out for a month with the hamstring injury he suffered at Everton last weekend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vented his frustration over the fixture schedule after United were given a lunchtime kick-off at Goodison Park on Saturday having only arrived back from a Champions League game in Istanbul in the early hours of Thursday morning.

And Solskjaer's anger was compounded when United confirmed that Shaw will be sidelined for four weeks after he was injured along with Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof in the 3-1 win.

The 25-year-old defender, who has started every Premier League and Champions League match for United this season, is now set to miss games against West Brom, Southampton and West Ham, as well as all three remaining Group H fixtures against Istanbul Basaksehir, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig.

Solskjaer revealed at the weekend that United tried unsuccessfully to move the Everton game to ease the burden on his team.

'How can you expect players to perform to the best of their ability when you send them out at 12.30pm? Absolute joke,' he said.

'A month ago we tried to move this game. What sense is there for us to play on a Saturday when we could play on the Sunday and there is an international break afterwards?

United's Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof have also been sidelined due to injuries

'I can't say enough how hard these times are for everyone, not just footballers, and we want to see football with quality.

'Our players were set up to fail today with the schedule. I pushed my club to really fight the kick-off time on this one to give us at least half a chance, but it was quashed.'

New signing Alex Telles, who has been in quarantine following a positive Covid test, will be available to replace Shaw at left back after the international break and United can also call on Brandon Williams.

Rashford sustained a shoulder injury, but should be fit to play for England when the Nations League resumes this weekend. Lindelof also aggravated a back problem.

Manchester United facing nervous wait over Alex Telles as they say he HASN'T necessarily contracted Covid again despite testing positive for a second time - with Luke Shaw already out injured

* Manchester United will assess Alex Telles upon his return to England this week
* Reports in Brazil suggest the new signing has tested positive for Covid-19 again
* However, United say he has not necessarily contracted the virus a second time
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in need of a fit left back after the injury of Luke Shaw

Manchester United will assess Alex Telles upon his return to England after reports in Brazil suggested the new signing has tested positive for coronavirus for a second time.

The 27-year-old was sidelined in October after contracting the virus shortly after his arrival from Porto, and missed four games as a result.

Telles' only appearance for the club came in the 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain last month in the Champions League.

https://i.postimg.cc/6qYLvzRY/35736668-0-image-a-5-1605541484609.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Manchester United will assess Alex Telles once the full back returns to England from Brazil. Reports in Brazil suggest the 27-year-old has tested positive for coronavirus for a second time

And United have sought to clarify Telles' health status after reports in Brazil suggested the full back had tested positive for the disease while away on international duty.

The Red Devils have said in an official statement that Telles' positive test does not necessarily mean he has contracted the virus again, as the defender looks set to miss Brazil's clash with Uruguay on Tuesday night.

The club's medical staff are monitoring the situation closely, and will make an assessment of the 27-year-old when he returns to the Aon Training Complex later this week.

However United have said that Telles has not necessarily contracted the virus again. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer will hope Telles is available ahead of a busy run of fixtures after the break

Telles' absence would prove a blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose squad had been hit by injuries before the international break.

Left back Luke Shaw picked up a knock in the 3-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park, while Marcus Rashford appeared to hurt his back during the victory.

Solskjaer bemoaned the heavy fixture pile up and blasted football authorities for what he deemed as unfair scheduling, saying his side had been 'set up to fail' as a result.

United are missing Luke Shaw after the full back picked up a knock against Everton

'They set up the boys to fail,' the United boss said after the much-needed win. 'We have got Luke Shaw injured because we have played loads of games this season already, been to Turkey on Wednesday, got back at 4am on Thursday and we are playing a lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.

'It is an absolute shambles and I cannot praise the boys enough for the character they have shown. That is all I want to talk about. Those boys deserve better than being thrown out here to fail today. The authorities set us up to fail.'

United host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday before taking on Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League next Tuesday.

* Manchester United hope to have Alex Telles available for West Brom clash
* The Brazilian was cleared to face Uruguay on Tuesday after another Covid scare
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be without injured Luke Shaw at left back at weekend

Manchester United hope to have Alex Telles available against West Brom this weekend after the Brazil defender was cleared to face Uruguay on Tuesday night following another Covid scare.

United's new £13.6million signing has missed the last five games since making his debut against Paris Saint-Germain a month ago after contracting coronavirus.

Reports in Brazil claimed that Telles had tested positive again, but he was allowed to rejoin the squad for Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier in Montevideo following a negative result.

Manchester United face more injury woe as striker Anthony Martial trains alone during France camp due to a back problem… and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces the prospect of being without Frenchman, Marcus Rashford AND Mason Greenwood for West Brom

* Manchester United may be forced to play West Brom without Anthony Martial
* He failed to take part in a French training session on Monday due to a back injury
* Martial could also be ruled out of France's Nations League game against Sweden
* Martial will undergo an individual session to assess whether he will be fit to play
* The result could see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer without three of his top players

Manchester United could be without Anthony Martial after the French striker picked up a back injury on international duty.

Martial failed to take part in France's team training session on Monday due to a back complaint and could miss the opportunity to face Sweden on Tuesday night.

It is believed Martial will undergo an individual session to assess whether he will be able to take part in the Group A3 fixture taking place at the Stade de France.

Martial started for Didier Deschamps' side in their 1-0 win over Portugal, but was substituted in the 78th minute.

Anthony Martial (above) failed to participate in a French training session due to a back injury

The news comes as a blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who can't afford to lose another game after slipping to 14th in the league after seven fixtures.

Martial was due to return from international duty to feature in United's Premier League meeting with West Brom on Saturday.

However, Martial could be forced to join Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood on Solskjaer's ever-growing injury bench.

Rashford has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during United's vital 3-1 win over Everton earlier in the month.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may be forced to play west Brom without forward Martial. Rashford could be ruled out due to a shoulder injury, with Greenwood is said to be ill

Rashford was also forced to withdraw from Gareth Southgate’s England squad due to his injury, but he is said to be back to 50 per cent fitness.

Greenwood's participation in Saturday's fixture with West Brom is said to be touch and go due to illness. The youngster is said to be around 75 per cent fit for the game.

As a result, Solskjaer may have to rely on Edinson Cavani - who came off the bench to score the final goal in United's clash with Everton on November 7.

As for Didier Deschamp - he could be forced to field a weaker forward line than he would have anticipated for their fixture against Sweden.

Deschamps is yet to declare whether Kylian Mbappe will feature in Les Bleus' Nations League game with Sweden.

Mbappe was ruled out of their game against Portugal due to a thigh strain he suffered against Nantes on October 31.

Should both Martial and Mbappe be absent against Sweden, the responsibility could fall to Chelsea's Olivier Giroud.

Giroud has been the topic of many conversations over the past few weeks with Deschamps urging the country's second-highest goalscorer to seek a move if he wants to improve his chances of adding a possible Euro 2020 title to his 2018 World Cup crown.

The 34-year-old striker has made just one start under Frank Lampard this season, playing a total of just 33 minutes in the Premier League.

Paul Pogba closing in on return for Manchester United's Champions League clash against Istanbul Basaksehir but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fears Luke Shaw could be out for SIX weeks with hamstring injury

* Paul Pogba returned from international duty with France with an ankle issue
* He missed the win against West Brom on Saturday as a result of the problem
* But Pogba trained on Monday morning ahead of the Istanbul Basaksehir clash
* And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful of having him available for Tuesday night

Three weeks on from that debacle in Istanbul and Manchester United have a chance to ensure an embarrassing blip in Group H does not turn into something altogether more serious.

An excellent start brought about by wins over Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig fell apart at the Fatih Terim Stadium thanks to a 2-1 defeat by Basaksehir and the shambolic manner of the goals conceded.

Tuesday night’s game at Old Trafford gives United a chance to put that right and restore daylight between them and their group rivals. For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, however, the damage may already have been done. The 10-point target set by the United manager might just have risen to 12.

Man United will make a late decision on Paul Pogba's fitness before facing Istanbul Basaksehir. Pogba missed Saturday's win over West Bromwich Albion with a slight ankle problem

Asked how important it is to win on Tuesday, Solskjaer replied: ‘The short answer is very. We know the compilation of the group and we started well with two wins.

‘Getting to 10 points as quickly as you can was the main point, but that defeat was a big blow. We need at least 10 points to go through definitely. Maybe it’s even likely that you have to have 12 points, so we’re going to go into this game trying to win it.

‘The level of concentration needs to be better. We know the two goals we conceded were on bad breakaways. The first goal was the worst goal to concede and the second a counter-attack.’

United will make a late decision on Paul Pogba’s fitness after he missed Saturday’s win over West Brom with an ankle problem, and Solskjaer revealed that Jesse Lingard is self-isolating and Luke Shaw could be out for another month with a hamstring injury.

Pogba - who had started United's previous two games on the bench - trained on Monday. And boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now hopeful he will be available against the Turkish side

Solskjaer also addressed Anthony Martial’s form, with United’s 23-goal top scorer last season netting just two this term, both in Europe, against Basaksehir and Leipzig.

Solskjaer urged Martial to raise his game, but admitted that a three-match ban for his red card against Tottenham and a loss of confidence have played their part.

‘Anthony made big strides last season, now it’s time again to make even bigger strides,’ said Solskjaer. ‘Every season is a challenge and you cannot rest on your laurels at United.

'There are demands on every position, and we want Anthony to kick on. He scored against Basaksehir last time, a good header, and we hope he’s going to continue to work hard to get back to his best again.’

Solskjaer gave Dean Henderson a Champions League debut in Turkey, but he is set to restore David de Gea in goal this evening.

Henderson’s only other appearances have come in the Carabao Cup, but Solskjaer dismissed concerns that lack of game time could become an issue for the England goalkeeper. ‘Dean wants to stay at United and play for United,’ he said. ‘He is training with one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he has the potential to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

‘It’s a great competition between them. It’s not up to me to keep everyone happy.’

Manchester United hopeful Paul Pogba will not be on sidelines for long with his ankle injury - and are not ruling midfielder out of weekend's Premier League clash at Southampton

* Paul Pogba has missed Manchester United's last two games with ankle problem
* United have concerns Pogba suffered a flare-up of last season's ankle injury
* But United are not ruling 27-year-old out of the game vs Southampton on Sunday
* However, they will not rush him back so not to risk aggravating problem further

Manchester United are hopeful Paul Pogba will not be a long-term absentee despite concerns he has suffered a flare-up of last season's ankle injury.

Pogba has missed United's previous two matches with an ankle problem, and Sportsmail can reveal the France international's current injury is positioned on the same joint that caused him significant problems at various junctures last term.

The World Cup winner eventually underwent surgery in January to resolve the long-standing ailment - and United medical staff are being extra cautious with Pogba's current problem as a result.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Monday that Pogba has suffered inflammation of the troublesome ankle, causing him to miss Tuesday's Champions League win over Istanbul Basaksehir.

United are not ruling out the 27-year-old for Sunday's clash against Southampton, but will not rush the midfielder back so not to risk aggravating the problem further.

But even if Pogba does not prove his fitness in time to replace the Saints, it is understood the former Juventus star is not facing a lengthy period on the sidelines.

Anthony Martial left at Manchester United's team hotel in Southampton by himself after French forward 'fell ill overnight', reveals manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

* Anthony Martial travelled to the south coast with the Manchester United squad
* But he was forced to stay by himself in the Southampton hotel due to illness
* Mason Greenwood started up front alongside Marcus Rashford in his place

Anthony Martial was ruled out of Manchester United's Sunday afternoon Premier League clash away at Southampton after falling ill.

The Manchester United forward travelled down to the south coast with the rest of the squad, but became ill overnight and was unable to play.

The Frenchman has not scored yet in the Premier League this season, only delivering one assist, although his general play has been strong.

Anthony Martial missed Manchester United's game with Southampton after falling ill overnight. Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was forced to leave Martial in the hotel in Southampton

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed the reason for his absence at St Mary's and also explained his starting line-up.

He told the United website: 'Anthony fell ill overnight so he's in the hotel by himself, poor lad. So that's the reason Ant isn't playing.

'Edinson (Cavani) played well in midweek but we felt Mason (Greenwood) needed a game as well to start with.

'Donny (van de Beek) is definitely ready. He's been good in training and he has been good in games he's played, in the Champions League. It's never been Premier League or Champions League. It's to give him time to settle into the group.'

Dutchman van de Beek made his first Premier League start of the season after featuring regularly in the Champions League, while Mason Greenwood made a rare start up front.

But while one summer signing in van de Beek started, it was another new arrival who stole the headlines as Cavani scored two and set up another to help United complete a brilliant comeback from two goals down to beat Southampton 3-2 at St Mary's.

Midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay also missed the match after picking up minor knocks in the week.

Anthony Martial 'leaves Manchester United training after just 11 minutes after being deemed too ill to take part', with France striker a major doubt for Champions League clash with PSG

* Anthony Martial had to stay at the hotel for their victory against Southampton
* Manchester United need just a point against Paris St Germain on Wednesday
* David de Gea remains a doubt after injuring his knee by colliding with the post
* Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay and Jesse Lingard have all returned to training

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial left the club's training ground after just 11 minutes on Monday morning after failing to recover from illness.

Martial was due to be in the squad for United's 3-2 victory against Southampton on Sunday, but he had to stay at the team's hotel due to picking up the illness the night before.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the Frenchman turned up for training at the Carrington training complex, but he was sent straight home due to not being fit enough to train.

It means he's unlikely to play a part in the side's Champions League match against Paris St Germain on Wednesday, where a point will be enough to qualify for the Round of 16.

It's the continuation of a frustrating season so far for the 24-year-old. He's failed to find the back of the net in the league this season - this after scoring 17 times in the last campaign.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's injury list is starting to pile up, with goalkeeper David de Gea taken off at half-time on Sunday with a knee injury after colliding with the post.

Alex Telles is also a doubt after he picked up a slight injury against Southampton, but the United manager is hoping to welcome back Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay, while Jesse Lingard has returned to full training.

Anthony Martial has failed to find the back of the net in the Premier League so far this season. Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was forced to leave Martial in the hotel in Southampton

Solskjaer revealed the reason for his absence at St Mary's and also explained his starting line-up.

He told the United website: 'Anthony fell ill overnight so he's in the hotel by himself, poor lad. So that's the reason Ant isn't playing.

'Edinson (Cavani) played well in midweek but we felt Mason (Greenwood) needed a game as well to start with.

David de Gea set for scan on knee injury sustained when crashing into the post during Man United's win over Southampton, with Dean Henderson ready to come in for PSG clash

* David de Gea took a knock just above the knee after a collision with the post
* Man United keeper was trying in vain to stop James Ward-Prowse free-kick
* Spaniard will have a scan on the injury on Monday ahead of their PSG fixture
* Dean Henderson could replace De Gea for crunch Champions League match
* United will qualify for the last-16 if they avoid defeat on Wednesday night

David de Gea will have a scan on his knee on Monday ahead of Manchester United's Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spanish goalkeeper was forced off at half-time during United's 3-2 win at Southampton on Sunday after colliding with the post trying in vain to keep out James Ward-Prowse's free-kick.

Dean Henderson replaced De Gea at the interval, making his Premier League debut for United, and may start the important Champions League clash at Old Trafford if the Spaniard is sidelined.

David de Gea grimaces after colliding with the post while trying in vain to stop James Ward-Prowse's free-kick in Manchester United's win over Southampton on Sunday. De Gea took a blow just above his knee and will have a scan on Monday to find out the severity. De Gea required treatment for the blow to the knee and was taken off at half-time

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: '[David has] a knock just above the knee, so hopefully he'll be okay for Wednesday, but we don't know.

'Let's have a little scan or check tomorrow [Monday], but Dean came on and looked very assured.'

United top Champions League Group H and will advance to the knockout stages if they avoid defeat against PSG.

They will secure top spot in the group if they win on Wednesday and RB Leipzig fail to win against Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey, or if United draw and Leipzig lose.

England international Henderson, 23, didn't go out on a sixth loan spell from United in the summer and instead stayed at Old Trafford to provide competition for De Gea.

But Solskjaer has kept faith with De Gea, starting him in all nine of United's Premier League fixtures as well as three of their four Champions League group games so far.

Henderson started the Champions League defeat away to Istanbul Basaksehir and United's two Carabao Cup ties, away to Luton Town and Brighton and Hove Albion.

But Henderson could get if opportunity to impress in the meeting with PSG if De Gea's knee problem rules him out.

Manchester United face nervous wait over fitness of Marcus Rashford after forward suffered 'shoulder niggle' in PSG defeat as Solskjaer says: 'Hopefully he will be ready for the West Ham game'

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes Marcus Rashford will be available for West Ham
* The 23-year-old was withdrawn with a shoulder concern against PSG
* Solskjaer confirmed it was a problem with the shoulder after the feisty game

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful Marcus Rashford will be available for Manchester United's trip to West Ham after the attacker was forced off against Paris Saint Germain.

The 23-year-old was withdrawn with 15 minutes remaining of United's 3-1 loss to the French champions in their feisty Group H clash at Old Trafford with what looked to be a shoulder injury.

Rashford immediately walked down the tunnel after being replaced by Paul Pogba, as a Neymar brace put the Parisians in a commanding position in the group heading into the final round of games.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful that Marcus Rashford will be available for the West Ham game. The forward was withdrawn with a shoulder problem in the 3-1 defeat by Paris Saint Germain

And Solskjaer has provided an update on the fitness of his star attacker, who did not play in the recent international break as a result of a similar shoulder concern.

'It's a niggling shoulder injury,' Solskjaer told BT Sport after the final whistle. 'Let's see how quickly he can recover. Hopefully he will be ready for the West Ham game.'

Rashford's absence would be a big loss for United, with the England international full of confidence in the outing against PSG on Wednesday evening.

Former United defender Rio Ferdinand said the 23-year-old was 'unplayable at times' in his role on the right wing, linking up well with new man Edinson Cavani before his untimely substitution.

The pair are developing a good partnership after Rashford set up the Uruguayan for his dramatic late winner against Southampton last weekend, as the Red Devils came from 2-0 down to clinch all three points at St Mary's Stadium.

United visit a resurgent West Ham on Saturday afternoon with former boss David Moyes surely keen to get one over his former club at the London Stadium.

Manchester United sweating over fitness of Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani ahead of Champions League showdown with RB Leipzig as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms pair are set to undergo scans

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial's injuries
* Both players sustained muscular injuries during their 3-1 triumph over West Ham
* Solskjaer says they 'aren't too bad' and claims they will know more after scans

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have to go without Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial for Manchester United's crucial Champions League clash with RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

The Red Devils manager confirmed both players picked up muscular injuries during Saturday's 3-1 triumph over West Ham.

Cavani - who scored twice as a substitute against Southampton last weekend - was withdrawn at half-time against the Hammers, while Martial was replaced just after the hour mark.

The exclusion of Cavani and Martial will come as a blow to Manchester United, who. must avoid defeat against Leipzig to advance to the Champions League last 16.

Speaking after their Premier League victory over West Ham, Solskjaer told MUTV: 'We lost Anthony and Edinson.

'Hopefully they aren't too bad but they couldn't carry on today.

'There's a game coming up on Tuesday but that's probably going to be the season this year.

'They're not bad ones (injuries) hopefully. We'll do scans and hopefully they'll be available soon.'

Despite the various injuries, Solskjaer will be happy with the result as United have now won their first five away league games of a season - collecting all 15 points despite conceding first.

Manchester United will be without Anthony Martial AND Edinson Cavani for crunch Champions League showdown at RB Leipzig, with both suffering from minor knocks

* Manchester United's Champions League progression comes down to one game
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side travel to face RB Leipzig in Champions League
* They must at least secure a draw to guarantee reaching knockout stages
* Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani are both out of game with minor injuries

Manchester United will be without Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani for their do-or-die Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.

Both attacking players are nursing minor injuries and will not travel to Germany for the final group game.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: 'David de Gea is travelling, Luke Shaw is travelling, Edinson and Anthony won't be making the trip, minor niggles.'

United need at least a draw to guarantee their place in the knockout stages of the competition.

So the absence of two of their striking options is a blow, although Martial has been struggling for form so far this season.

Cavani's absence may be a more significant blow as he has shown signs of his best recently, particularly in the brace he scored against Southampton.

Despite the fact that a point would be good enough against Julian Nagelsmann's team, Solskjaer insisted that United will not be sitting back with a cautious approach.

He said: 'I think you approach the game as a 90 minute game, anything can happen in any moment, you can't sit back and hope for a 0-0 draw, its not in our genes, the club's genes. You have to play to win.

'Games like this are something that we want. Tradition for Manchester United is to make it hard for ourselves! Even ever since I played and that's a long time ago.'

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to rejig his forward line for the RB Leipzig showdown. Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial are out of the game with minor niggles

Harry Maguire added: 'We go there and look to win, for sure we won't be sitting back.'

There is a lot of pressure on United heading into Tuesday's match, but Solskjaer is confident the players will rise to the occasion.

'Knockout games or games like this that mean you can go through or not are big,' the United boss said.

'The players are here, they are Man United players, because they have qualities that we've looked for and I'm sure that tomorrow night will prove that's the reason why they're here, they will show it.

'I think the character of the group is getting better and better and we're looking forward to the game.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals Paul Pogba, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw missed FA Cup win over Watford due to injury as trio face race against time to be fit for big week where they could move six points ahead of Liverpool

* Manchester United managed to get a 1-0 victory against Watford in the FA Cup
* Paul Pogba, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw all missed out thanks to injury
* Manchester United can go top of the league with a win over Burnley next week

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Paul Pogba missed out on the Manchester United squad which faced Watford in the FA Cup on Saturday due to injury.

Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw were also ruled out before the game, and the United boss will also have to check on Eric Bailly after he suffered a blow to the head during the match.

Pogba's 2019-20 season was marred by an ankle injury which required surgery and kept him out of action for many weeks.

https://i.postimg.cc/T3phS3Qh/37812602-9130457-image-a-13-1610239184789.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Paul Pogba was not in the squad for Man United's Saturday FA Cup match due to injury. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping for full fitness with a big week coming up for United. Pogba's last couple of seasons have been marred by injuries, particularly related to his ankle

He also had a spell on the side lines this season, missing a few games due to an ankle problem he picked up on international duty with France.

Manchester United face a big week ahead. They can go top of the league with a win against Burnley and will then face rivals Liverpool, so Solskjaer will be hoping there are no long term injuries to contend with.

Solskjaer's happiness at making it through to the FA Cup fourth round was tinged by disappointment at his much-changed side's display against Watford.

Having fallen to a galling loss to rivals Manchester City in Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final, Scott McTominay's early header secured a 1-0 win against Sky Bet Championship opposition in Saturday evening's third-round encounter.

United flew out of the blocks at an empty Old Trafford but dropped off markedly, with the nine players brought into the side leading to a lack of fluency and unconvincing display.

'Very happy to get through,' Solskjaer said. 'We started very brightly.

'I expected it to be other way round - that we needed 15-20 minutes to get going and find our rhythm.

'But after a very good start we lost our shape, we lost too many balls.

'We lost it easily. It was like we started making difficult decisions to try and complicate things and maybe show the manager that 'I want to play in the next game'.

https://i.postimg.cc/05nQywBb/37812634-0-image-a-18-1610239247039.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Eric Bailly will also need to be checked after he took a blow to the head against Watford

'I know they're good players so they didn't have to do that, but we're through. That's the main thing.'

Donny Van De Beek, Brandon Williams and Jesse Lingard were among the alterations, with Dean Henderson and McTominay the only players retaining a starting spot from the City loss.

The latter proved the difference on Saturday evening, when leading United out as captain for the first time.

'He's got great character, good attitude,' Solskjaer said of academy graduate McTominay. 'He comes in every day, does the right things, lives his life properly, wants to be the best he can be and he's not afraid to be vocal.

'He always, always goes out there to give his best. Never shirks a tackle. Nothing.

'He's got everything a leader has to have, so I just wanted to test him today how he reacted because he always done that anyway.

'But I gave him the armband to see if there was any change in him but luckily there wasn't.'

On a night of few highlights, the main concern was the blow that forced Eric Bailly off towards the end of the first half.

Having been hit in the back of the head when goalkeeper Henderson was clearing a ball, Solskjaer said when asked for an update: 'I honestly can't tell you.

'I think he got a good whack. I don't think it's concussion. I think it's his neck, which is sore.

'Hopefully a muscle injury but we'll have to check him tomorrow and fingers crossed he won't be out for too long.'

Watford return to action at home to Huddersfield in the Championship next weekend after putting in a performance that pleased recently-appointed boss Xisco Munoz.

'I'm very proud of our players,' he said after his third match in charge of the Hornets. 'This is our style.

'I know we have little details to improve. We know we have a very good team against us.

'The guys give us very good intensity, with very good tactics.

'Our team is growing up and it's important we believe in our team.'

Anthony Martial could be fit for Manchester United's top-of-the-table showdown against bitter rivals Liverpool, with star's hamstring injury not as bad as first feared

* Anthony Martial hurt his hamstring at the end of Tuesday's win at Burnley
* But the Frenchman was moving freely after the game at Turf Moor finished

* Martial could yet be involved in Sunday's clash against champions Liverpool

Manchester United will give Anthony Martial as much time as possible to prove his fitness for Sunday's top-of-the-table showdown with Liverpool at Anfield.

The 25-year-old appeared to hurt his hamstring as he attempted a shot at the end of United's win at Burnley on Tuesday night and was immediately replaced by Axel Tuanzebe.

Club sources say the injury is not as bad as first feared and Martial was moving freely after the game, but the Frenchman will be assessed on Thursday morning after the players were given Wednesday off.

RASHFORD INJURY UPDATE AFTER CUP WIN

Marcus Rashford will have a scan on his knee on Monday after our Man of the Match was forced off before the end of Manchester United's superb 3-2 FA Cup win over Liverpool.

Our no.10 had earlier set up Mason Greenwood for the Reds' first goal in the fourth-round tie, with the pass of the match. Three minutes after the restart, Greenwood returned the favour and Rashford finished with aplomb past Alisson.

Four minutes from time, the England striker was replaced by Anthony Martial and headed straight up the tunnel.

Ole was asked about Rashford's departure from the action by BBC Sport and whether the England international would be okay for our next match, and the boss had this to say.

“Let’s hope so. His knee was bothering him,” revealed Ole. “[He'll have a] scan tomorrow and we’ll see where we are.”

Rashford's goal was sandwich between Greenwood's and Bruno Fernandes' superb winner for the Reds, who will now face West Ham United in the fifth round of the Cup at Old Trafford next month.

That was Marcus's 15th goal of the campaign in all competitions, from 31 appearances for the Reds.

It means the attacker is on course to set his highest tally in a single season for United. Marcus bagged 22 last term, his highest number to date from one campaign.

Make sure to check out ManUtd.com and our Official App on Monday and Tuesday to see if we have any further updates on Rashford's injury situation.

Scott McTominay forced off in the 37th minute of Man United's draw against Arsenal after suffering stomach cramp - with club hopeful he'll be fit for Tuesday's visit of Southampton

* Manchester United's Scott McTominay was substituted off in the 37th minute
* The Scottish midfielder tried to take a pill to settle his stomach but it was in vain
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a bold switch, replacing him with Anthony Martial

Manchester United received an injury blow as midfielder Scott McTominay was forced off with stomach cramp during their goalless draw at Arsenal on Saturday evening.

McTominay was replaced just before half-time clutching his midriff, although he appeared to be struggling with the issue earlier in the match.

Twenty minutes in Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey glided past him and he was clearly off the pace and unable to keep up.

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was forced off in the 37th minute vs Arsenal

The Scotland international had taken a pill to try to settle his stomach earlier in the match but it was clearly unsuccessful. However, United are hopeful he'll be fit for the visit of Southampton on Tuesday night.

A statement on the club's website read: 'We discovered during the interval that the problem was stomach cramp.

'Consequently, we hope the illness is not too severe and he will be available for our next Premier League outing - at home to Southampton on Tuesday night at Old Trafford.'

Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ignored midfielders Donny van de Beek and Nemanja Matic on the substitutes' bench, however, bringing on forward Anthony Martial in an attacking switch with Paul Pogba moving back.

Dutchman Van de Beek would have provided a like-for-like switch, but clearly had not done enough to impress his manager during his 10-minute cameo in Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Sheffield United.

He was clearly in some pain and went off the pitch clutching his midriff and stomach area. The 19-cap Scottish international took a pill to settle his stomach but it proved unsuccessful

That outing was his first in the league since before Christmas, and it appears the Norwegian does not yet trust the £35million summer signing in a Premier League engine room.

McTominay, 24, has nailed down a starting spot for Solskjaer's side so far this season, and has already made 26 appearances in all competitions.

With Pogba often utilised out wide or further forward and Nemanja Matic frequently rotated, McTominay has provided a stable base in the double pivot alongside the rejuvenated Fred.

However, with United's next fixture against Southampton on Tuesday, they may be without the 19-cap international for the immediate future.

Paul Pogba picks up another injury at a time when he was becoming a pivotal team player for Manchester United... Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hope that his latest absence is only a brief one

* Paul Pogba picked up an injury during Manchester United's draw with Everton
* The United star limped off in the first-half at Old Trafford with Fred coming on
* There was a time when the Red Devils were better off without the Frenchman
* But Pogba could now miss an important part of Manchester United's title bid

We were approaching half-time at Old Trafford when Paul Pogba played a short pass to Victor Lindelof and immediately pulled up clutching his right thigh.

Pogba sank to the turf and informed referee Jon Moss that he would be taking no further part in Manchester United's draw with Everton.

It was Moss who first signalled to the home dugout to get a substitute ready before Pogba got up and walked gingerly towards the touchline. The physio came on but only to confirm what we already knew and to help the Frenchman the rest of the way off the pitch.

The midfielder limped out of the Old Trafford encounter in the first-half as he couldn't carry on

So Pogba's race was run and, depending on the severity of the injury to his groin or thigh, it might be a few games before we see him again.

He will be missed. That might sound an obvious thing to say about United's £89million record signing, who was efficient rather than spectacular for the 39 minutes he was on the pitch here, but it hasn't always been the case.

There have been times over the last four-and-a-half years when it felt as though they were better off without him. When the circus around Pogba was more trouble than it was worth considering what he delivered on the pitch. Jose Mourinho certainly seemed to reach that conclusion.

https://i.postimg.cc/Hkgwwy0Q/38966796-0-image-a-27-1612646164847.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
There was a time when United was deemed to be better without the iconic Pogba in their side

The last couple of months have seen a difference in Pogba though.

He has been playing better than at any time since his first season back at Old Trafford when he teamed up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic to help United win the League Cup and Europa League.

The 27-year-old seems happier in himself and in this United side under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He is more of a team player, one no longer casting envious glances at Bruno Fernandes in the No 10 role.

It has brought better performances and important goals like the equaliser against West Ham in December and winners against Burnley and Fulham last month.

https://i.postimg.cc/Y0FFgrhn/38968612-0-image-a-40-1612649156669.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Pogba is now set to miss an important part of Manchester United's season and title bid. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (right) spoke about the positive impact Pogba (left) has made this term. Questions will still be asked about Pogba's future even if his injury lay-off is a short one

Solskjaer rested Pogba for the 9-0 romp against Southampton in midweek but brought him straight back as the only change to the team that faced Everton.

'Paul has been excellent the last couple of months,' said the United boss before kick-off. 'He had a well-earned rest against Southampton and now he's ready to go again.

'I like most of the things with Paul as a footballer, he is creative and he is now doing a shift for us defensively. He is physical and wins headers for us and today set plays will be important for us.'

That's not to say the Pogba puzzle has been solved by any means. It hasn't always been easy to accommodate him in Solskjaer's favoured 4-2-3-1 formation, with Pogba never entirely happy playing in the defensive midfield role because he cannot get forward enough.

Solskjaer also likes the energy of Fred – the man who made way for Pogba and then replaced him – and Scott McTominay.

Neither is Pogba a perfect fit for the wide positions where he has been tried on both the left and right flanks in recent weeks.

Again, Solskjaer has more suitable options there in Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.

Then, of course, there is the incessant speculation over Pogba's future fuelled largely by the player himself and his irksome agent Mino Raiola.

Even though the France midfielder didn't play in midweek, Solskjaer had to field a number of questions about him in his Friday press conference after Pogba's brother Mathias told Spanish TV that United would have to sell him this summer or see him walk away for nothing at the end of his contract in June 2022.

The inference was that Pogba will not sign a new deal. Raiola has indicated the same. Solskjaer says there is 'open dialogue' although it's understood that the two parties have agreed to put off any contract talks until the end of the season.

In the meantime, it would suit everyone if Pogba could continue in his current form. On his day, he is a supreme midfielder. With that in mind, United will hope that his absence is only a brief one.

Paul Pogba is eager to return for next month’s Manchester derby after sustaining thigh injury against Everton…forcing him to miss their Europa League last-32 tie vs Real Sociedad

* Manchester United have been dealt a big injury blow with games coming quickly
* Midfielder Paul Pogba will miss some crunch matches over the next few weeks
* Frenchman was forced off with a thigh injury late on in the first half vs Everton
* However, Pogba is currently racing to be fit for next month’s Manchester derby

Paul Pogba is racing to be fit for next month’s Manchester derby after he was ruled out for weeks with a thigh injury.

The midfielder limped out of Manchester United’s 3-3 draw with Everton on Saturday and scans confirmed he is likely to be sidelined for the rest of February, at least. United travel to City on the first weekend in March.

Pogba is set to miss tonight’s FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to West Ham, both legs of United’s Europa League encounter with Real Sociedad and league games against West Brom, Newcastle and Chelsea.

Paul Pogba sustained a thigh injury late on in the opening period against Everton on Saturday. The Frenchman will miss a 'few weeks' of action after he was forced off with the thigh injury

It is a major blow for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, after the Frenchman’s impressive recent form.

‘It’s an injury that will take a few weeks to heal,’ said Solskjaer. ‘We’ll get him back as soon and as safely as we can. Paul has been very important for us and we’re not going to take any risks.’

Solskjaer said Dean Henderson is keen to replace David de Gea as United’s No 1, as he prepares to take over in goal tonight.

Henderson has played against Liverpool and Watford in the Cup this season and was due to step in again even before De Gea’s blunders in the Everton match.

GAMES PAUL POGBA IS SET TO MISS

West Ham (H) - FA Cup: February 9

West Brom (A) - PL: February 14

Real Sociedad (A) - EL: February 18

Newcastle United (H) - PL: February 21

Real Sociedad (H) - EL: February 25

But the 23-year-old will sense his best opportunity yet to usurp De Gea since returning from two successful seasons on loan at Sheffield United.

‘He’s not the most patient guy,’ said Solskjaer. ‘He wants to play every game because he knows he will perform well. He’s played well when he’s got the chance. ‘You see his improvement in every game when he plays.’

Meanwhile, 17-year-old winger Shola Shoretire has been promoted to first-team training at United after agreeing his first professional contract.

Manchester United fear Paul Pogba could face another TWO WEEKS out due to thigh injury which forced him to limp off against Everton... as midfielder faces race against time to be fit for Chelsea and Man City games

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been without Pogba since February 6
* Midfielder is set to miss the games against Real Sociedad and Newcastle
* Pogba is facing race against time to be fit to face Chelsea and Manchester City
* United have struggled in Pogba's absence after losing ground in the title race

Manchester United fear Paul Pogba could miss at least another fortnight with the thigh injury that has ruled him out for the previous two games.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been without Pogba since he limped off in the 3-3 draw against Everton on February 6.

But the World Cup winner is set to miss another two weeks meaning he could be absent for the vital Europa League games against Real Sociedad and the Premier League clash versus Newcastle on Sunday.

Pogba could be available for either of the two crucial league games against Chelsea on February 28 or the Manchester derby a week later but no definitive timescale is being put on his return.

Paul Pogba sustained a thigh injury in the first-half against Everton on February 6. The French midfielder could face two more weeks on the sidelines due to the thigh injury. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hope to have Pogba available to face Chelsea and Manchester City

United have stuttered in Pogba's absence, drawing against the Toffees in a game they were twice leading, needing extra time to beat West Ham in the FA Cup before recording a 1-1 draw against relegation threatened West Brom on Sunday.

And his eventual return to fitness will come as a timely boost to Solskjaer, whose side's title tilt has faltered in recent weeks.

Pogba enters the final year of his United deal in the summer and will delay any decision over his future until the end of the season.

Paul Pogba likely to miss 'a few weeks' MORE with a thigh injury, reveals Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Frenchman faces prospect of sitting out the Manchester derby and visit of West Ham

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Paul Pogba will miss a few more weeks through injury
* Pogba hasn't played since coming off in the 3-3 league draw with Everton
* Solskjaer also confirmed that Daniel James took a knock against Real Sociedad

Paul Pogba is set for another extended spell on the sidelines as he battles to recover from his latest injury.

That was the news from Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who also revealed that Daniel James picked up a knock in the Red Devils' 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday.

Pogba, who has been in imperious form for United recently, has not featured since limping off in the 3-3 league draw against Everton on February 6 with a thigh injury.

Paul Pogba's thigh injury means he will miss 'a few weeks' more says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Solskjaer said Edinson Cavani, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek may be fit for Sunday

He has missed three games in all competitions, and Solskjaer's troubling assessment suggested the Frenchman may miss several more yet.

'Paul is still out for a few weeks,' the Norwegian told BT Sport after the final whistle at Old Trafford.

Manchester United take on Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday in a crucial match for both teams' Champions League ambitions.

While Pogba is certain to miss out, Solskjaer is hoping for better news on other absentees including Scott McTominay, Edinson Cavani and Donny van de Beek. All three have also missed United's last three matches through injury.

'Scott, Donny, Edinson we hope they can be available for the weekend,' he said.

'We will have to check on him (James) tonight.'

Phil Jones could miss the ENTIRE season due to a long-term knee injury after another setback, warns Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Manchester United defender last playing in January 2020

* Phil Jones last played for Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round last term
* In the summer, the centre back underwent a knee operation to solve his injury
* But the 28-year-old is still being plagued by the issue and could the entire season

Phil Jones injury hell at Manchester United is set to continue with the centre back possibly missing the rest of the season due to a long-standing knee problem.

The centre back has not played for the Red Devils since January 26, 2020 - a 6-1 FA Cup fourth-round win at Tranmere Rovers, in which he scored in.

Jones underwent a knee operation in June and Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had initially hoped he would be fit for December.

Phil Jones is set to miss Manchester United's whole season due to a long-term knee injury. Jones has not played for United since their FA Cup fourth-round 6-1 win at Tranmere last term. The centre back scored in that fixture but has not played since that January 26, 2020 victory

That time-frame got pushed back and speaking at the beginning of February, Solskjaer revealed he was hoping he'd 'get his fitness back sooner, rather than later' and demonstrated his faith by registering him in his Premier League and Europa League squad lists.

However, speaking on Tuesday; Solskjaer provided a bleaker outlook for the 28-year-old - hinting he may not feature for the club until next season now.

Asked if the England defender could feature this season, Solskjaer said: 'With Phil, obviously we hope so but he's working really hard.

'He's had a couple of setbacks and it's just that kind of injury that you have to be patient and give him time. I know all about knee injuries.

Jones has been beset by a long-term knee injury and underwent surgery in the summer. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed the latest update about Jones on Tuesday

'I'm not sure (when he will be back). How long is a piece of rope? That's how I felt as well when I came back.

'So (we'll) give him absolutely every chance to get back this season. If not, hopefully for the start of next.'

Jones has played 224 times for United since signing in 2011 and has won the 2012-13 Premier League title, the 2016 FA Cup and 2017 Europa League in that time.

Marcus Rashford avoids ankle ligament damage after limping off in derby win at City - but the Man United forward remains a doubt for Europa League showdown with AC Milan

* Scans revealed Marcus Rashford has not suffered ligament damage in his ankle
* The Manchester United forward limped off with an injury during the win at City
* Rashford is now a doubt for Thursday's Europa League clash with AC Milan
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have few options with Edinson Cavani also a doubt

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has not suffered any ligament damage in his ankle after picking up an injury in Sunday's derby win at City.

The 23-year-old was forced off with the problem in the second half at the Etihad and replaced by Mason Greenwood.

It is understood scans showed that Rashford has not suffered any significant damage but is still struggling with heavy bruising and swelling around the joint.

Although it will come as good news for United that Rashford's injury is not a serious one, the forward is still considered a major doubt for Thursday's Europa League clash with AC Milan.

Scans revealed that Marcus Rashford has not suffered ligament damage in his ankle. The forward limped off during United's win at City and is now a doubt to face AC Milan

Rashford has been a vital figure for United this season, playing in all 43 games and contributing with 18 goals.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may be left with few options in attack for their game with Milan as there remains concerns around Edinson Cavani's fitness too.

The Uruguayan striker was absent for Sunday's victory over City through injury and it remains to be seen if he'll be available to face Milan.

Cavani, meanwhile, is set to hold talks with United about his future amid claims he wants to leave Old Trafford for Boca Juniors.

Reports in South America on Monday said Cavani has decided to join the Argentine club on a three-year contract and take a pay cut rather than extend his current deal at United.

The 34-year-old striker signed a short-term contract until the end of the season worth £9million when he arrived at Old Trafford as a free agent on deadline day in October.

Edinson Cavani (right) may also not be fit for Thursday's Europa League clash with Milan. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may be left short of options in attack if Rashford and Cavani miss the tie

It has the option of a 12-month extension which has to be agreed by both parties, and United were planning talks with Cavani and Walter Guglielmone, his agent and brother, before Monday's developments.

The club are said to be keen to keep the former Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli player next season, but Cavani has yet to commit and is understood to want assurances over his role.

Speaking last month, manager Solskjaer said: 'I can only say Edinson has done well. We'll sit down and speak with him in the near future to see his plans and our plans.'

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to welcome FIVE key players back from injury - including Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani - ahead of make-or-break week for Manchester United in the Europa League and FA Cup

* Manchester United face a crucial week after beating West Ham 1-0 on Sunday
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side face AC Milan in Europe then Leicester in the FA Cup
* United are set to welcome back five key first-team players for these two games
* Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial are all set to return from injury
* Donny van de Beek is set to return after being sidelined along with David de Gea

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saw Manchester United kick off a big week by taking a major step towards Champions League qualification, then revealed that up to five of his stars are ready to return to action.

United's 1-0 win over fifth-placed West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday created a nine-point gap between the two clubs and went a long way towards securing a top-four finish.

Solskjaer's side now turn their attention to Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg against AC Milan at the San Siro and next weekend's FA Cup quarter-final away to Leicester before the international break, with the United boss hopeful that Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, David de Gea, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek will be available.

Pogba has missed the last 10 games with a thigh injury, Cavani and Van de Beek have had muscle problems, De Gea will return to training on Monday after self-isolating following paternity leave in Spain, and Martial missed Sunday's win with a hip injury.

'Injury-wise I hope we have four or five players back for that game (Milan),' said Solskjaer.

'It's very likely that Edinson and Anthony are fit, Donny hopefully as well. Paul even might make the trip and David is back from isolation. That's more numbers.

https://i.postimg.cc/1zB6HpPt/40464824-0-image-a-79-1615761523192.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek (left to right) are three who could return. Anthony Martial and David de Gea are expected to return in a crucial week for United

'You could see today we even had two goalkeepers on the bench so we need them back.'

Looking ahead to what will be a key week in United's season, Solskjaer added: 'We want to improve on last season, get to a final and move up the table.

'This week was always going be massive. We're starting to build some momentum in the league, and we opened the gap further to West Ham which is important for us.'

The game was settled by a 53rd minute own-goal by Craig Dawson after United struggled to break down their opponents.

'As expected, they are always going to make it hard for you,' said Solskjaer.

'We could have been more comfortable towards the end as we had a few decent chances to finish it off. We like to make it hard for ourselves.

'In the first 15 minutes we gave the ball away every time we attacked. You have to not open up stupidly as you know they are a threat on the counter-attack so we kept composed and organised.

'We created massive opportunities but the final pass or shot wasn't good enough. It could have been two or three easily. But then it could have ended up in our net at the end as they are a threat.'

West Ham lacked ambition until they went behind, and manager David Moyes admitted that his tactics didn't work as planned.

'The way we set up maybe didn't quite work. We changed it a bit at half-time and again later on,' he said.

'We are upset. I'm not happy we've lost because I felt we had a chance to come here and put on a show. I don't enjoy losing 1-0 which shows how far we have come.'

Anthony Martial hands Manchester United a fresh scare after limping out of France's World Cup qualifier... with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already facing up to Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood injuries

* Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could face a shortage of strikers
* Anthony Martial was forced off with injury during France's World Cup qualifier
* Marcus Rashford pulled out of the England squad due to a foot injury this week
* Mason Greenwood also withdrew from the England U21 camp through injury

Manchester United striker Anthony Martial was forced off with injury in France's game with Kazakhstan, leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer potentially facing a forward crisis.

Marcus Rashford pulled out of the England squad with a foot injury earlier this week, while Mason Greenwood also withdrew from the U21 camp.

Martial went down with a knee injury in the second half of France's World Cup qualifier on Sunday and was unable to continue. The forward appeared to get his studs caught in the turf and looked in some pain as he hobbled off.

Solskjaer will be hoping it is not a serious problem, especially because he is already short of striking options.

Should Martial be sidelined, Edinson Cavani would be United's only fit and available forward - and he is just returning from injury.

United face Brighton on Sunday before the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie with Granada.

They then face Tottenham ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford, with Premier L eague games against Burnley, Leeds and Liverpool to follow.

Martial has suffered a frustrating season in front of goal, netting just four times in the Premier League and seven in all competitions.

However, he has been a key part of Solskjaer's squad this season, regularly interchanging with Cavani in the central striking role, with Bruno Fernandes playing behind them.

Rashford has occupied the wide-left position for the majority of the season, with Solskjaer regularly rotating his right-sided player. Dan James has started four of the last five league games in that role.

Amad Diallo can also play on the right or left, but is yet to make his Premier League debut. The 18-year-old scored on his first appearance at Old Trafford in the 1-1 draw with AC Milan.

Manchester United ace Anthony Martial in race to be fit for clash against Brighton this weekend with France forward 'set to miss World Cup qualifier in Bosnia due to knee injury'

* The injured Anthony Martial may have handed Manchester United a dilemma
* Martial limped off with a knee issue during France's 2-0 win over Kazakhstan
* RMC have claimed the ace will miss France's next World Cup qualifier this week
* It appears the United man is facing a race to be fit for the clash with Brighton

Anthony Martial faces a race to be fit for Manchester United's clash against Brighton due to the injury he has picked up on international duty.

The 25-year-old ace was forced off the field in France's 2-0 win over Kazakhstan in World Cup qualifying with an apparent issue with his left knee.

RMC Sport have claimed that Martial will miss out entirely on their next fixture against Bosnia on Wednesday - and is therefore at risk of being absent this weekend.

Martial has enjoyed a slight return to form in recent weeks and recorded an assist for the world champions before limping off with the aid of a physio.

Footage showed Martial appearing to catch his studs in the turf before feeling immediate discomfort.

It has been reported that the forward has sustained fibula damage - and it is not known how long the former Monaco man is expected to remain sidelined.

Anthony Martial is in a race to be fit for Manchester United's next game due to a knee problem. Martial reportedly picked up fibula damage to his left knee while in action for France last week

United return to action after the international break with another crucial top-flight encounter and are facing a selection dilemma in attack.

Martial has missed four games this month for his club due to a hip injury and there are question marks over the availability of Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.

Rashford pulled out of the England senior squad with a foot setback last week while youngster Greenwood withdrew from the U21 camp.

United have a selection headache with Martial just one of several strikers who may be missing. Marcus Rashford pulled out of the England squad this week while Mason Greenwood withdrew from the U21 camp with injury. The crisis facing boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer comes before a crucial period in United's season

Edinson Cavani may well be United's only available frontman - although the veteran has only recently returned from his own injury woes.

Despite the headache now posed to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Martial has largely struggled to replicate his previous heroics for United this campaign.

He has netted 78 goals in 258 appearances at Old Trafford across just over five seasons, but only seven have arrived this term.

United are rapidly approaching a crucial run of fixtures that may well decide whether their season will be judged as a success or not.

The first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie with Granada awaits after Brighton.

After that, they will then take on Tottenham ahead of the second leg, before facing Burnley, Leeds and Liverpool.

Didier Deschamps eases Manchester United fears over Anthony Martial's knee injury on France duty as he insists it is 'nothing serious' and the forward could play in World Cup qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina

* Didier Deschamps has said Anthony Martial's knee injury is 'nothing serious'
* The forward limped off in the 59th minute of France's 2-0 win against Kazakhstan
* Reports suggested he would miss Les Bleus' match against Bosnia-Herzegovina
* But Deschamps suggested there was a chance Martial could feature tonight

Didier Deschamps has eased Manchester United's fears over Anthony Martial's injury on France duty.

The winger was forced off in the 59th minute of France's 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Kazakhstan on Sunday with a knee problem.

Martial looked set to miss out on his side's qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina tonight, making him a doubt for United's clash against Brighton.

But France boss Deschamps said the injury is not serious and suggested there was a chance he could play this evening.

'Anthony has a small issue on his knee. Nothing is decided yet [as to whether he can play against Bosnia-Herzegovina],' he said.

'He won’t be taking part in the training session a bit later. We’ll see tomorrow (Wednesday). Anything serious has been dismissed.

'We’ve run some tests, but there’s still the pain, and having travelled as long as we have, that hasn’t helped.'

Martial started France's victory on Sunday and provided the assist for Ousmane Dembele's opening goal in the 19th minute.

He received a pass from Paul Pogba on the turn and dragged Kazakhstan's defenders out of position, before laying off for Dembele to smash home.

The United forward almost got a goal of his own in the 43rd minute when he tried to get on the end of a Thomas Lemar cross with a stooping header, only for Serhiy Malyi to produce an incredible clearance.

Martial was given treatment for a knee problem after appearing to get his studs caught in the turf and was replaced by Kylian Mbappe just before the hour mark.

Anthony Martial's (right) knee injury on France duty is 'not serious', says Didier Deschamps. The winger looked to be a doubt for United after limping off in France's win against Kazakhstan. Deschamps has suggested Martial could play for France against Bosnia-Herzegovina tonight

The winger had only just returned from a hip injury which kept him out for four United games earlier this month.

But Deschamps's update will give the Red Devils hope he can feature in their crucial Premier League match against Brighton on Sunday.

Martial remains an important part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad, despite struggling to hit the heights of his career-best 23 goals last campaign. This season he has seven goals and eight assists in all competitions.

United are second in the table with eight games left to play, just a point above third-placed Leicester. They face Granada in the Europa League quarter-finals next week.

France are top of their World Cup qualifying group with four points after their first two fixtures but could only manage a 1-1 draw with Ukraine in their opening match.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed Anthony Martial could MISS the rest of the season with knee injury while defender Eric Bailly has tested positive for Covid-19

* Red Devils forward Martial sprained his knee playing for France vs Kazakhstan
* France boss Didier Deschamps had insisted that the injury was 'nothing serious'
* Centre half Bailly has tested positive and is out of the country at the moment
* The 26-year-old Bailly had been on international duties with the Ivory Coast

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed Anthony Martial could miss the rest of the season with a sprained knee and Eric Bailly has tested positive for Covid-19.

Martial was injured on international duty for France and missed Manchester United's win over Brighton last night.

'It looks a bad one,' said Solskjaer. 'If we get him back before the end of the season I'll be surprised. We've lost a very important player there.'

https://i.postimg.cc/xjLMSwdL/41331660-9435359-image-a-14-1617559856444.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted forward Anthony Martial could be out for the season. Martial sprained his knee on international duty for France against Kazakhstan on March 28. France boss Didier Deschamps initially played down the injury but it looks significantly worse. Manager Solskjaer described the prognosis as 'very disappointing' and admitted it looked bad

Ivory Coast defender Bailly also was also absent, and Solskjaer added: 'Eric won't be with us for a little while. He's tested positive for Covid and isn't back in the country yet.'

United suffered another setback when Marcus Rashford, who pulled out of the England squad with an ankle injury, limped off in the 72nd minute last night after scoring United's equaliser.

'Marcus got caught with a tackle and he couldn't carry on,' said Solskjaer. 'You just hope he can recover from it. He had to come off, but he's a tough one.'

The United boss paid tribute to match-winner Mason Greenwood after admitting that he had made his displeasure clear to the players after a limp first-half display.

'It's a header inside the six-yard box and that's what we need more from Mason,' said Solskjaer. He's learned from Edinson (Cavani).

'We know how wonderful a talent he is and when he can add those goals he'll really be a good 'un.

https://i.postimg.cc/wTVN1DLv/41336472-9435359-image-a-28-1617573375053.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
He also revealed Eric Bailly (left) has tested positive for Covid-19 and is out of the country

'We had to come in at half-time and compose ourselves as we didn't create much after they scored. Sometimes after international breaks it takes time – and then maybe the fireworks have to be lit at half-time.

'Sometimes you just have to raise your voice and sometimes be calm and composed. It doesn't matter what I did today, what matters is that we got the half time to talk things through.'

Greenwood confirmed that both Solskjaer and captain Harry Maguire had their say at the interval before United came from behind to win 2-1.

'Ole said his part and Harry said his part,' said the teenage striker. 'He (Maguire) is vocal and he told the lads we can do better, and that's what we did second half.'

Brighton manager Graham Potter felt his team could have been awarded a penalty for Maguire's challenge on Danny Welbeck when the scores were level.

'When it was live I thought it was a penalty, then I suppose it's the clear and obvious debate,' said Potter. If Mike Dean had given it, I don't think VAR would have overruled it. We're disappointed to come away with nothing.'

* Manchester United take on Granada in the second leg of their Europa League tie
* Solskjaer expects Daniel James back for the game but Anthony Martial is out

Marcus Rashford is a doubt for Manchester United's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Granada.

The 23-year-old missed training on Wednesday with an ongoing foot and ankle issue, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has his 'fingers crossed' he will be available on Thursday.

Solskjaer said: 'Yes Marcus didn't train this morning so I'll have to give him as much time as possible, his foot is still a little bit sore, but fingers crossed he is available tomorrow.'

Daniel James is back after missing the Tottenham match, but Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are suspended.

Anthony Martial and Phil Jones remain out, while Eric Bailly is unavailable despite returning to Manchester following a recent positive Covid-19 test. United have added 18-year-old Will Fish to their Europa League squad.

The United boss added: 'It's never a positive thing to not have every player available,' said Ole. 'But we've got players ready to deputise and come into the team.

'We have to make sure that we get through. I always pick a team to win a game. There will be a few changes; some of them are forced and some of them are maybe rotation.'

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is an injury doubt for the Europa League final after suffering a twisted ankle in 3-1 win against Aston Villa in a huge blow for the Red Devils

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side beat ten-man Aston Villa 3-1 on Sunday afternoon
* Result means Manchester City have to wait before being crowned champions
* Maguire broke a run of playing every league minute since arriving in July 2019
* The England centre half previously blasted the club's 'ridiculous' fixture pile-up

Harry Maguire faces a race to be fit for the Europa League final after limping out of Manchester United's win over Aston Villa with an ankle injury.

The United skipper was hurt in a collision with Anwar El Ghazi and left Villa Park with his left foot in a protective boot.

Maguire will have scans over the next 48 hours, but United fear he will be out for a couple of weeks. They play Villarreal in Gdansk on May 26.

The 28-year-old, who has been ever-present in the Premier League since joining United for £80million from Leicester in the summer of 2019, tweeted: 'Hoping the injury isn't nothing serious and I'll be back playing soon.'

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also keeping his fingers crossed that the injury is not as bad as first feared, but admitted Maguire could be out for a 'few weeks' – putting his place in the final in jeopardy.

'We have a final to look forward to now and hopefully that will be with Harry Maguire,' said the United boss. 'We've got to check him. It might be a few weeks, it might be a couple of days, who knows?

'Hopefully he won't be too bad but I'm not a doctor and we've got to check and scan him tomorrow.

The 28-year-old had previously played every Premier League minute since signing in July 2019. But now manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fears Maguire could be out for the next few weeks

'It was his ankle, lower leg. I think the boy landed on top of him and he twisted his ankle and got a knock.

'Harry has been excellent and it's almost unheard of the minutes he's played without missing out.

'His fitness is very good, he is robust, but today it looked like the boy landed on him and he twisted his ankle. That's something you can't really defend yourself against so unfortunately he had to come off.

'I don't know how bad it is. Maybe he'll be available for Thursday, I don't know, but it might be longer. I'll tell you on Tuesday night.'

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expresses hope that captain Harry Maguire will recover from ligament damage in time to play in the Europa League final against Villarreal

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful Harry Maguire will play in Europa League final
* Maguire suffered ligament damage and is facing a race to be fit to face Villarreal
* The United captain is determined to play in the final in Gdansk on May 26
* Solskjaer says he has tough choice between Dean Henderson and David de Gea

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is optimistic Harry Maguire will be fit to lead Manchester United into the Europa League final against Villarreal.

Maguire damaged the ligaments in his left ankle at Aston Villa eight days ago and is racing to be back in time for the final in Gdansk on May 26.

'He's making progress but we've consciously taken the route of not testing him out too quickly because we don't want to aggravate something,' said Solskjaer.

'Harry wants this so much, so he doesn't want to take any risks either. We decided early on to focus and be positive and think that you're going to make it until you have to say no. I've always been an optimist so we're positive.

'Harry is our leader and our captain. He's been more or less ever-present. He is a big miss at the moment. I will give him as long as he needs, until he says yes or no.'

Solskjaer faces some difficult selection decisions and none more so than in goal, where he must choose between Dean Henderson and David de Gea.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has expressed hope Harry Maguire will play in the Europa League final. Solskjaer says United haven't rushed Maguire, who damaged the ligaments in his left ankle

Both goalkeepers have played in the Europa League this season. 'Both have done really well so it will be a difficult call, of course,' said Solskjaer.

'It's probably a different scenario with the keepers than it's normally been because they've shared close to 60 games and both are around the 30 mark.

'It is always difficult - the human side. You want everyone to get the experience but then you have to pick your 11.'

semoga dengan sisa 10 hari menjelang final, kapten Maguire bisa fit dan berharap De Gea yg jadi kiper utama jika memang nanti diakhir musim dia akan dijual, kalo bisa De Gea malah jadi kapten, jadi kalo misalnya juara biar De Gea yang angkat piala sbg penghormatan atas dedikasinya terhadap United

'It doesn't look great': Ole Gunnar Solskjaer changes his tune on Harry Maguire's chances of recovering from ligament damage in time for Europa League final after the Man United boss was optimistic at the weekend

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says things 'don't look great' for Harry Maguire
* The United captain picked up an ankle ligament injury against Aston Villa
* Solskjaer is also concerned about Scott McTominay, Fred and Anthony Martial
* But he says they've 'still got a little bit of hope for' Martial ahead of the final
* United face Villarreal in the Europa League next Wednesday night in Poland

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted it 'doesn't look great' for Harry Maguire as he faces a race against time to prove his fitness before the Europa League final.

The United captain picked up an ankle knock in a 3-1 win against Aston Villa, causing concern over his availability for the European showpiece on May 26.

Solskjaer had previously said that Maguire was feeling 'positive' about the situation and that they would make a last-minute call on the England defender ahead of the final, but now admits 'it doesn't look great' with just seven days to go.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said things 'don't look great' for Harry Maguire (above) ahead of the final. Defender and captain Maguire picked up an ankle ligament injury vs Aston Villa last Sunday

Speaking in his post-match press conference after United's 1-1 draw with Fulham on Tuesday, Solskjaer gave an injury update on the defender.

He said: 'Harry [Maguire] we're working on, doesn't look great.'

The news come shortly after Solskjaer admitted Maguire was optimistic he would be back in time for the match against Villarreal.

Speaking ahead of the Fulham match, the United boss had said: 'Hopefully we can have good news early but I'll give it a while on Harry.

'He's shown his importance. I felt I became a very good player when I was injured. People realise what you can do.

The news comes after Solskjaer had admitted they were feeling 'optimistic' about his return. Should Maguire be ruled out, United will be losing a commanding player on and off the pitch

'Harry is our leader and he's been a big miss at the moment. I'll give him as long as he needs before he says yes or no.

'He's making progress but we don't want to test it out too early. Harry wants this so much but he doesn't want to take risks either.

'When I spoke to him this morning, he was quite positive. We have to be positive and think he's going to make it, until we have to say no. I've always been an optimist.'

Maguire would be a huge loss for United as his interception, aerial duel and passing statistics are among the league's best.

The former Leicester defender is also an influential figure and leader even while off the pitch.

Maguire is not the only player at risk of missing the final on May 26, as Solskjaer revealed Scott McTominay, Fred and Anthony Martial are all nursing injuries.

Solskjaer is also concerned about Scott McTominay, Fred and Anthony Martial's fitness. The manager says they've 'still got a little bit of hope for' Martial ahead of the final on May 26

He said: 'We've had a couple of players that have got injuries with Scott and Fred, so I'll see how they are.

'Unfortunately, Scott had to come off and Fred doesn't look great while he's walking now but we've got eight days, so hopefully everyone will be available that was available today. '

'Anthony, we've still got a little bit of hope for. We're hoping. He's working really hard and we're hoping he'll be available for the final.

'He's been very enthusiastic, so I can't say he won't be fit for the final but of course, he's been out for a long time. I'm still hopeful.'

RASHFORD UNSURE OVER OPERATION PLANS

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford admits a decision needs to be taken on whether he needs an operation after Euro 2020.

The England international will be hoping for a first start in the tournament when Gareth Southgate's side take on Germany at Wembley on Tuesday.

However, he has reiterated that he has been playing through the pain barrier for a while, even if he does feel ready to shine, if called upon, after some minutes off the bench in the group stages.

“It's either an operation or I don't get an operation,” he told reporters.
“I'm not 100 per cent sure if I need it yet, so I'll just take it as it comes. I'll finish strong here and I've got a few weeks off to just relax and decide what I'm going to do.”

There is no potential timeframe for a recovery from any surgery but he has disclosed issues with his shoulder and ankle during the season, despite helping the Reds to finish in second spot and reach the Europa League final.

“The doctors have not said yet,” he stressed, when asked if he could miss the start of next term. “The reason I don't know is that when the season was going, and before I came here, I knew there was no chance I was going to be getting the operation, so I did not know how long the operation would put me out for.

“I am fully concentrated on here. When the tournament is finished, then I will ask the question.”

Rashford also admitted he is still striving to rediscover his best form at the Euros and is keen to get the opportunity to show that he can cause Germany problems in the round-of-16 encounter.

“Obviously, I am not performing at my best and what I know I can perform to,” he continued.
“Whatever that is down to, it doesn't really matter because it has been going on since early on in the season. I managed to get through the season with United.

“I think I had 36 goal involvements so I can't look back at the year and say 'I should have taken time off to do this and do that'. That's just not the way I look at things. I just want to be available for every game.”
