MANCHESTER UNITED are set to be without Marcus Rashford for their Europa League round-of-16 first leg tie with AC Milan.
The England star limped off in Sunday’s 2-0 win over rivals Manchester City and has joined the Red Devils’ growing list of injuries.
Anthony Martial impressed during the derby and is expected to start upfront with Edinson Cavani a doubt for the Milan clash.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “I don’t think he’ll (Rashford) be available for tomorrow.
“He’s still getting treatment but he didn’t join in during training today. Even though I’m normally a very optimistic guy, I think he’s out for tomorrow night and probably a doubt for the weekend.
“But that 60 or 70-yard sprint recovery run just showed the hunger, appetite and spirit we’ve got and the humility in our work.
“It was probably worth it there and then but you’re never happy when you lose players for games.”
Cavani has missed five of United’s last six games while Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek are both still sidelined with muscle injuries.
Dean Henderson meanwhile is set to hold onto the No1 spot with David de Gea not expected to play before the March internationals following the arrival of his first child.
Solskjaer added: “I’m not sure if anyone will be back. David is not available. Donny: no. Paul: no. Edinson: maybe but probably not. Juan: no.

“And Marcus: maybe but probably not, so similar to Sunday but maybe we’ve lost Marcus.”
Luke Shaw came through a late fitness test on Sunday and could be rested for Alex Telles while Eric Bailly is expected to start in defence.
Although coined the ‘Zlatan’ derby, Ibrahimovic himself will miss the chance to line up at Old Trafford to face United due to injury.
