Manchester United are sweating on Marcus Rashford’s fitness ahead of the Carabao Cup final. The 25-year-old is arguably the most in-form player in the Premier League but was withdrawn last on against Barcelona on Thursday.
After his substitution, Rashford limped off and posted a concerning Instagram post - casting his place in this weekend’s Wembley showdown under doubt. Sceptical Newcastle United supporters instantly screamed “mind games” - refusing to buy into the forward’s agony.
On Friday, just hours after the Barcelona win, Erik ten Hag spoke to the media about Rashford but kept his cards close to his chest. He said: "I don't know (whether Rashford is fit). The players now are coming in (to training). We have to do investigations.
