Marcus Rashford injury: Man United fears grow ahead of Carabao Cup final

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has sparked injury fears ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United.

United on Thursday night came from behind to beat Barcelona and secure passage through to the Europa League last-16 stage. Goals from Fred and substitute Anthony cancelled out Robert Lewandowski's first-half penalty.

Rashford was unable to get on the scoresheet before being forced off two minutes from time, having minutes earlier collided with Barca defender Ronald Araujo. He subsequently received treatment for a few minutes.

The 25-year-old tried to carry on before manager Erik ten Hag replaced him with Scott McTominay to see out the result.

Footage shared on social media after the game appeared to show Rashford walking with a slight limp.

Ten Hag will deliver an update on Rashford at a press conference on Friday.
