Football news - Marcus Rashford limps off as United injury crisis worsens

Playing as a lone striker, with other options Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood sidelined with a thigh injury and illness respectively, Rashford looked out of sorts throughout the first hour before leaving the field with his side a goal down to Andriy Yarmolenko's strike.

Jesse Lingard replaced him assuming an unfamiliar advanced position but saw little of the ball as Aaron Cresswell's free kick six minutes from time ensured the Hammers took all three points.

The Red Devils also currently have Paul Pogba, plus defenders Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah sidelined through injury.

After the match, Solskjaer confirmed the source of the complaint and that the Red Devils will likely be missing their leading striker for a few weeks at least.

"We will scan him [Rashford] tomorrow," Solskjaer said.

"He felt his groin so probably be out for a little while. I can update you later when I know a little more.

"It is just one of these moments. We've had, historically, loads of centre-backs of the last few years struggling with injuries.

"At the moment it is strikers. Hopefully Mason and Anthony will be back for Arsenal and hopefully one for Rochdale."
