Man Utd boss Solskjaer pessimistic about Rashford making Liverpool trip

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is pessimistic about Marcus Rashford being fit for Sunday's trip to Liverpool.

Solskjaer says he is "not holding his breath" about top scorer Rashford recovering from a back injury in time for Sunday's Premier League trip to leaders Liverpool.

The 22-year-old was forced off just 16 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the FA Cup third-round replay win against Wolves on Wednesday.

"We will give him the absolute amount of time to find out," said Solskjaer.

"Marcus will have more checks and treatment today but I am not holding my breath. I would think he wouldn't be ready but there is still 48 hours, so let's see."
