Marcus Rashford injury fears allayed after Man Utd star's early semi-final exit

Erik ten Hag insisted that Marcus Rashford is fine after the Manchester United forward was withdrawn early in the second-half of Wednesday night's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Rashford, who scored after just six minutes in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg tie, was replaced by Alejandro Garnacho shortly after he was caught in the chest with an elbow in the 57th minute. United added goals from Wout Weghorst and Bruno Fernandes to put Forest to the sword ahead of next week's return leg.
