Marcus Rashford suffered an injury during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Everton, and Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says it “does not look well” for the striker.
Near the end of the game, the 25-year-old England international left the field with what appeared to be a groin injury.
Rashford was captured on camera later walking slowly up the tunnel.
Ten Hag responded when it was mentioned that the damage appeared severe: “You are a doctor?”
Although he had already voiced his concerns to BT Sport, he later expressed dissatisfaction with United’s schedule, which saw them play a late Sunday game the previous week and an early Saturday game this round of fixtures.
“We have to wait. He doesn’t look well,” Ten Hag said of Rashford.

“This was avoidable. All science and research tell you players need a certain time to recover.
“It is also part of the schedule that we are now finding ourselves in this situation and now we can only pray he is not dropping off.”
When United scored their second goal with 19 minutes remaining, Ten Hag acknowledged he had the option of taking Rashford off, but he chose not to do so because he wanted to give his top scorer playing time alongside the returning Anthony Martial.
“I don’t think any manager at this stage of the season will rotate so much,” he said.
“I had the consideration [to take him off] but in that moment, with Anthony Martial just coming back, you want to bring them back into routines and togetherness.
“When they are together we have two goalscorers who can finish games, which is what we need in the final stage of the season to be successful.
“Also, there was no indication. If there was an indication I would have taken him off.”
Relatively, Manchester United will learn the full extent of Marcus Rashford’s injury later today.
According to unconfirmed reports, the forward is likely to miss Thursday Europa League quarter-final first leg at Old Trafford against Sevilla.
