Manchester United suffer Marcus Rashford injury blow against Liverpool

Manchester United have been handed another injury scare with Marcus Rashford being forced off in their Premier League showdown with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

United have been hampered with selection problems this season and have been hit harder than most on their treatment table. Rashford added to those worries when going to ground at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

The 26-year-old was replaced by former Ajax forward Antony, with the score sheet reading 1-1. Luis Diaz opened the scoring for Liverpool before United captain Bruno Fernandes hit back.

His equaliser from 40 yards came following a mistake from Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah, who gifted the ball to Fernandes, and the Portuguese clipped the ball around Caoimhin Kelleher. Kobbie Mainoo made it 2-1 to United shortly after the injury setback for Rashford.

Rashford was selected ahead of Antony for the Premier League match despite the Brazilian impressing in a losing cause against Chelsea last time out. However, the England forward had to be replaced by Antony with 65 minutes on the clock at Old Trafford - compounding the ongoing injury situation at United this season.
