      This includes breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible record while firing United to the Europa League quarter-finals.

      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.
      Most read in Europa League
      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      “The forward was withdrawn in the 80th minute of Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Everton at Old Trafford and immediately headed to the dressing room for treatment.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. More

      The striker was penalised for a crime against the Public Treasury and was also ordered to pay a fine of €133,798 (£117,519).
      The sentence was suspended for two years and includes the condition of “the defendant not committing a crime again during the period of suspension”.
      So it is highly-likely Ben Yedder will not spend any time behind bars.
      The charges relate to the France international’s three-year spell at Sevilla until his departure in 2019.

      The 32-year-old scored 70 goals and bagged 22 assists in 138 appearances during his time in Seville.
      Ben Yedder is widely remembered for knocking Manchester United out of the Champions League in 2018.
      Sevilla and United met in the Round of 16 and the Frenchman fired his team to the quarter-finals thanks to a brace that led to a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.

      The centre-forward has so far amassed 96 goals and 30 assists in 161 games with the Ligue 1 giants.
      United face Sevilla at Old Trafford in their first-leg and will visit Spain next week.
      The winner of that tie will go on to face either Juventus or Sporting Lisbon, who knocked Arsenal out, in the semi-finals. More

      by

      He is likely to be absent from Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg at Old Trafford against Sevilla on Thursday.
      But the fear is he could be out for a number of weeks.
      In what was his 350th appearance for the club, Rashford pulled up as he stretched to reach a pass from Christian Eriksen.
      He immediately signalled to the bench he needed to come off and was replaced in the 81st minute.

      Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag was clearly concerned after the game.
      Ten Hag said: “We have to wait. He doesn’t look well.”
      The Dutchman blamed the injury on United’s fixture schedule.
      He was unhappy the Red Devils played late afternoon last Sunday at Newcastle, midweek against Brentford and were chosen for the 12.30pm kick off on Saturday.

      He said: “This was avoidable. All science and research tell you players need a certain time to recover.
      “It is also part of the schedule that we are now finding ourselves in this situation and now we can only pray he is not dropping off.”
      Rashford has played 52 games this season for club and country.
      He recently pulled out of the England squad for their Euros double header against Italy and Ukraine with a knock.
      He went on a break to New York during that time which Ten Hag said was good for him to turn off totally from football for a while.
      If Rashford is sidelined for a number of weeks it will put extra emphasis on Anthony Martial who has just returned from injury.
      He came on as a sub for a third game in a row on Saturday and got his first goal since February 1. More
