Man Utd ace Rashford plays down injury fears; proud to sit alongside Giggs, Best

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford played down any injury concerns after defeating Norwich City 4-0.

The striker's two goals in his 200th game for the club helped the Red Devils beat Norwich — making him the third-youngest player to do so for the club after Ryan Giggs and George Best.

Rashford came off after the hour mark, replaced by Daniel James, before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told him to head straight to the dressing room.

He later posted to social media: "Beyond proud to become the 3rd youngest player to hit 200 @ManUtd games.

"Can't put into words what it means to follow Giggsy and George Best.

"Two goals and three points completes a perfect day.

"Fancied a hat-trick today but busy few weeks for us.

"Just a precaution and looking forward to getting back at it Wednesday."

He added: "Giggsy was massive in getting my first opportunity so extra special for me.

"Grateful to everyone who's helped me get to where I am x."
