Injury scare for Man Utd striker Rashford

Manchester United have their fingers crossed regarding the fitness of Marcus Rashford.

The 18-year-old striker limped out of Wednesday night's EFL Cup fourth-round win over Manchester City in the 82nd minute.

Rashford grabbed for his left thigh before falling to ground and then exiting the Old Trafford pitch with Jesse Lingard his replacement.

The injury worry comes at a bad time for the Red Devils who had defender Eric Bailly ruled out for two months on Tuesday.

It is understood that United will monitor Rashford closely before making a call on his availability for the weekend's Premier League clash with Burnley at home.
