MARCUS RASHFORD is having the season of his life for Manchester United – but it could be coming to an abrupt halt.
Rashford, 25, has taken his game to the next level under Erik ten Hag by bagging 28 goals in all competitions.
This includes breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible record while firing United to the Europa League quarter-finals.
However, Rashford hobbled off with a groin injury during the Red Devils’ 2-0 win against Everton on Saturday.
And United are sweating over whether the England international can feature in the crunch clash with Sevilla.

Rashford went for a scan on Tuesday so that the club doctors could assess whether he’ll be fit to play against Sevilla.
And earlier reports suggested that Erik ten Hag will not risk playing his red-hot forward with so much to riding on the rest of the campaign which has now been confirmed.
Furthermore, Rashford it set to be out for a ‘few’ games but the England international will be back for the run-in.
What has been said?
The Manchester United club website announced the bad news this morning.

A statement read: “Marcus Rashford will be unavailable for Thursday’s UEFA Europa League quarter-final game against Sevilla because of a muscle injury.
“The forward was withdrawn in the 80th minute of Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Everton at Old Trafford and immediately headed to the dressing room for treatment.
Subsequent assessment of the injury suggested that Marcus will be unavailable for a few games, but is expected to be back for the season run-in.”
Which competitions are Manchester United still involved in?
Mathematically, Manchester United can still win the Premier League although it is highly unlikely due to the points tally of Arsenal and Manchester City.
But having already secured Carabao Cup glory this season, the Red Devils can complete the treble as they have a favourable FA Cup semi-final against Brighton coming up.
And if United can see off serial winners Sevilla, they’ll only be two steps away from winning the Europa League too.
