Manchester United Faces A Setback With Marcus Rashford Suffering An Injury During The Clash Against Liverpool.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford had to leave the field during the team’s Premier League match against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. The England international returned to the starting lineup for the game against Jurgen Klopp’s side after being on the bench for last week’s match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Rashford played for 66 minutes before being substituted by Antony, and he appeared to be in discomfort as he left the pitch. The extent of the 26-year-old’s injury is currently unknown, but head coach Erik ten Hag is expected to provide an update during his post-match press conference.
At halftime, Liverpool was leading 1-0 in Sunday’s Premier League encounter, with Luis Diaz scoring in the 23rd minute.
However, despite their dominance, the Reds missed several opportunities to extend their lead, and the score was leveled at 1-1 early in the second half thanks to a long-range strike from Bruno Fernandes.
Kobbie Mainoo then put Manchester United ahead in the 67th minute, but Liverpool managed to salvage a draw in the closing stages with a penalty converted by Mohamed Salah.
Manchester United will now need to evaluate Rashford’s condition ahead of their upcoming Premier League fixture away to Bournemouth next weekend.
Following that, the 20-time English champions will face Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals on April 21.
Mainoo expressed his disappointment after the match, lamenting his team’s inability to secure all three points at Old Trafford.
Mainoo expressed his disappointment over the outcome, attributing it to what he described as “minor mistakes” made by his team at Old Trafford.
“I’m disappointed, to be honest. I felt we performed really well in the second half. The guys made some minor errors, and if we can rectify them, we could have won the game,” Mainoo told Sky Sports News.
“It’s an incredible feeling to score my first goal at Old Trafford, especially in such a significant fixture. However, the main objective was to secure three points, which unfortunately we didn’t achieve.
“Mistakes are part of the game and can have significant consequences. It’s challenging and draining when they occur.
“Once again, it’s about the details that we missed. I have my responsibilities within the team, but unfortunately, we couldn’t execute properly in certain moments.”
Manchester United currently sit sixth in the Premier League standings, now trailing fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur by eight points. Tottenham could climb to fourth place in the table with a win against Nottingham Forest in the late fixture.
