Marcus Rashford will be unavailable for United's match against Sevilla on Thursday with a muscle injury.

Rashford was forced to leave the pitch in the 80th minute of United's win against Everton at the weekend. The player underwent scans on the problem and it has now been confirmed he is set to 'miss a few games' with a muscle injury.

The player appeared to hold his groin and he looked in visible discomfort before being substituted off against Everton, but the problem is not as bad as feared and he's expected to recover from the injury for the season run-in.
