Injury fears grow for Man Utd ace Rashford ahead of Carabao Cup final

Injury fears have sparked for Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United.

United on Thursday night came from behind to beat Barcelona and secure passage through to the Europa League last-16 stage. Goals from Fred and substitute Anthony cancelled out Robert Lewandowski's first-half penalty.

Rashford was unable to get on the scoresheet before being forced off two minutes from time, having minutes earlier collided with Barca defender Ronald Araujo. He subsequently received treatment for a few minutes.

The 25-year-old tried to carry on before manager Erik ten Hag replaced him with Scott McTominay to see out the result.

After the game he posted on Instagram suggesting an injury.

Footage shared on social media after the game appeared to show Rashford walking with a slight limp.
