Marcus Rashford is a doubt for Manchester United’s clash with Liverpool through injury.

The young forward limped off with a sore back after a clash with Matt Doherty during United’s 1-0 win over Wolves in the FA Cup on Wednesday night.

“That backfired,” said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of the decision to introduce Rashford from the bench.

“You have to go for them once in a while; it seems like he’s got a knock. Hopefully, he will be OK for Sunday against Liverpool, I don’t know.”

With United lacking a cutting edge against their visitors, Rashford was introduced in the 64th minute and moments later, some confusion in the Wolves backline led to Juan Mata bursting clear and chipping over John Ruddy.

However, having been on the field for barely a quarter of an hour, a visibly discomforted Rashford headed straight for the tunnel, clutching his back for a few minutes after a challenge from behind from Doherty.

“I didn’t want to play him,” Solskjaer added of Rashford who has scored 19 goals this season. “That’s why we’ve kept him away [from starting against Wolves], but we needed the win. He was involved in the goal so that was positive but it backfired.

“He’s a quick healer and he’ll play through some pain, definitely, if he’s capable and it’s not a bad, bad injury, but we’ve seen that he’s struggled lately.

“But that’s been more when he’s been tired. He wasn’t on long enough to be tired so it might be something that just happened there and then.

“He’s been absolutely top this season so we’ll do anything and everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he’s not then we’ll play without him.”

Rashford also took to Twitter to express his disappointment and apologize to the fans.
