Marcus Rashford Suffers Injury Scare in Manchester United’s Pre-Season Match
Manchester United’s pre-season tour in the United States has been marred by another potential injury blow, as Marcus Rashford was forced off the pitch during a friendly match against Real Betis.
Rashford, 26, limped off the field in the second half of the match, which United won 3-2, after a heavy challenge from Real Betis defender Sergi Altimira. The forward required treatment on the ankle and was eventually replaced by a substitute.
This latest setback comes on the heels of the news that Rasmus Hojlund, another United forward, will be sidelined for six weeks with a hamstring injury. The Red Devils are already thin on options up front, and Rashford’s potential injury could further exacerbate the problem.
Jadon Sancho, who was playing alongside Rashford, immediately called for the physios to come on after the incident. Rashford was seen in conversation with the physio, shaking his head in discomfort, before walking off the pitch to receive further treatment.
Although Rashford was later seen walking unaided post-match, which may ease fears of a serious injury, the incident is still a cause for concern for United manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman has already lost Hojlund for six weeks, and Rashford’s potential absence would be a significant blow to the team’s attacking options.
The match also saw Antony come off the bench, only to be forced off with an injury after just 23 minutes. The Brazilian winger walked straight down the tunnel, adding to United’s growing injury woes.
Ten Hag will be hoping that Rashford’s injury is not serious, as the team prepares for the new season. With Hojlund already ruled out, the pressure may fall on new signing Joshua Zirkzee to step up and fill the void.
Zirkzee, who is not currently part of the pre-season tour, will be working on his fitness at Old Trafford, and may be called upon to play a bigger role than expected in the coming weeks.
United fans will be holding their breath as they wait for news on Rashford’s injury, hoping that it is not as severe as initially feared.
