Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said in his pre-match press conference that it was "too early" to say whether any of the trio will be fit in time for the Premier League fixture on the south coast.
“It’s still early,” Solskjaer told reporters. “Hopefully we can get them back on the pitch tomorrow.
“They got some treatment yesterday, a little bit more treatment today, a light session and hopefully they’re ready. I can’t tell you exactly now.”
Axel Tuanzebe, Nemanja Matic and Luke Shaw are all expected to remain sidelined, while the game also comes too early for Paul Pogba who continues to recover from an ankle injury.
Anthony Martial returned after an eight-week injury layoff in United's 3-1 win over Norwich on Sunday, combining with Rashford - who scored their second - for their third goal.
Solskjaer added that the return of Martial to the lineup has allowed for Rashford, who scored a spectacular free-kick in United's 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea on Thursday, to play his natural game.
"Since Anthony has come back, Marcus has flourished," Solskjaer added.
Academy graduate Scott McTominay has been equally influential in the midfield, having started all 10 of United's league games this season and cemented his first-team status under Solskjaer.
"He's a leader, he's a Manchester United boy and you can tell he used to be a striker with the goal he scored against Norwich on the half-turn," the Norwegian said.
"He's developing into a very good midfielder."
