Manager hopes to regain key players as Champions League qualification push continues.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed uncertainty regarding the severity of Marcus Rashford’s leg injury, which kept the England striker out of the squad for the 2-0 victory over Wolves at Old Trafford. Rashford sustained the injury during United’s recent defeat to West Ham, and Ten Hag admitted before the Wolves match that the forward was “more than doubtful,” ultimately not making the bench.

United secured an important win without their leading goal scorer, thanks to goals from Anthony Martial and substitute Alejandro Garnacho. With crucial fixtures remaining against Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Fulham, plus an FA Cup final showdown with Manchester City, the Red Devils are eager to see Rashford return. He is one goal away from becoming the first United player since Robin van Persie in 2012-13 to reach the 30-goal mark across all competitions in a single season.

Ten Hag, addressing Rashford’s absence, said: “I can’t tell [what the latest is] at this moment. He is not available. We have to focus on the team who is available… We have a good team and it’s a good squad. We have to win this game.” While unable to confirm a timeline for Rashford’s recovery, he noted, “The medical staff is working hard on it… I hope [he will be back soon].”

Meanwhile, Ten Hag provided a positive update regarding Scott McTominay’s potential return from injury, which could provide a midfield boost as United continue their push for a Champions League spot amid competition from Liverpool and Newcastle.
