Man Utd manager Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer has said that the club will make a late decision on the
involvement of Marcus Rashford for the Premier League clash against Liverpool
on Sunday.
The
England international suffered a knock on his back and knee during his
second-half appearance against Wolves in the FA Cup on Wednesday and he was
able to last for only 17 minutes before his substitution.

Manchester United
travel to face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League this weekend and will
seek to end Jurgen Klopp's Invincibles bid, but do so with Marcus Rashford
having taken a knock in midweek.
Manchester United
manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an update on Marcus Rashford's fitness
ahead of their weekend clash against Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's team is
unbeaten in the Premier League this season and aiming to match Arsenal's
incredible Invincibles feat during the 2003/04 season.
But up next for Klopp's
side is the old rivalry against Man Utd, the only team to have taken points from them in
the league this season with a 1-1 draw between the two teams at Old Trafford in
October.
Marcus Rashford opened
the scoring on that day, before a late equalizer from Adam Lallana. However,
United's striker could be set to miss the trip to Anfield after picking up an
injury.
Solskjaer press conference
Speaking in the press
conference ahead of the Anfield trip Solskjaer said that Rashford is not ready
for the weekend's game at the moment but he will be offered sufficient time to
prove his fitness.
"I cannot tell you
now. As I said with Harry Maguire a few weeks ago, of course, we are going to
give him the absolute amount of time to find out.
I would probably think
that he would not be ready, but let's see. There are still 48 hours, more than
that so let's see," he was quoted as saying by the club's official
website.
Rashford has been
influential towards Manchester United picking up points against Liverpool in
recent Premier League meetings and he has scored three goals in the
past four appearances against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
As such his possible
absence would prove a blow for the Merseyside trip and Solskjaer may have to
rely on Daniel James on the left side of the attack against the Premier League
leaders.
Man Utd position in Table
Man Utd is presently five points adrift
of fourth-placed Chelsea in the standings but they could find
themselves eight points behind the final Champions League spot ahead of the
late kick-off at Anfield.
As a result, they have
plenty to lose from the contest this weekend and Solskjaer will be hoping that
his players can step up to the challenge and register the club’s first away win
against Liverpool since January 2016.
The striker was a
substitute for the FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves in midweek, but
with the scores level at 0-0, he was introduced by Solskjaer.
However, within a
matter of minutes, he hurt his back in a challenge and had to be taken off -
and Solskjaer revealed that he is not confident about the striker's fitness for
Sunday.
