Marcus eyes “asap” return
United star Marcus Rashford issued a positive fitness update after being sidelined with an injury.
Rashford has been ruled out of Thursday’s Europa League clash with Sevilla at Old Trafford due to a muscle problem.
The winger picked up the knock on Saturday during United’s 2-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League.

The England international is also set to “be unavailable for a few games” following the quarter-final clash with the LaLiga giants.
However, the 25-year-old has eased some of the fans’ fears by revealing he is “working hard” with the Red Devils’ physios.
The Manchester giants’ top scorer of the season tweeted: “I’m working hard with the physio to get back asap! See you soon.”
Rashford’s injury comes as a major blow for United after 28 goals and 10 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions this season.
Bellingham would cost up to £130m
EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United and City City will have to pay as much as £130million to land Jude Bellingham, writes MARTIN BLACKBURN.
Liverpool have pulled out of the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s 19-year-old superstar, but Real Madrid remain in the hunt.
City are interested and United could also move if their takeover is completed in time for the summer window.
Dortmund have not given up hope of keeping Bellingham for another season.
But if he does decide to go, the Germans believe the £138m deal they did with Barcelona for Ousmane Dembele in 2017 is a yardstick for how much they should get for the young Englishman.
Eriksen tipped to pair up with Casemiro
Christian Eriksen’s return to fitness is poised to be confirmed with a starting role alongside Casemiro in midfield tomorrow.
United manager Erik ten Hag is expected to pick his strongest possible side at home to Sevilla in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
The main absentee will of course be injured 28-goal striker Marcus Rashford.
Erik backs Antony
Erik ten Hag is sure winger Antony, 23,will come good.
The £85.5m Brazilian has seven goals in United colours — four of which have come in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League.
Boss Ten Hag said: “Of course, we expect from front-line players that they are not only a threat but also they have effect in the final third. And he has to work on that — but he is a young player.
“You mention he is not scoring in the Premier League but he did score a really important goal against Real Betis after half-time and he did score against Barcelona, the winner, and you can’t say they are not big games. He has scored also in cup games.
“If you can do it in such games you can also do it in Premier League games, so I am not concerned about that.
“But like many more players, we have to have to step up and he has to step up as well and we have to win games together.
“He is still a very young player, he can kill opponents, we have seen on Saturday when the manager of Everton brings on another player at half-time because he is  killing the left full-back. He is able to do it but he has to do it every game.”
‘We play our best when Martial is firing’ – Ten Hag
The time has come for Anthony Martial to step up to the plate, writes NEIL CUSTIS.
With Marcus Rashford out for the next six games, Manchester United need the Frenchman fit and firing.
The fitness bit is the main issue, with the player constantly in and out of the squad with strains, pulls and knocks. Most recently it was a hip problem.
The 27-year-old — who spent the second half of last season on loan at Thursday’s Europa League opponents Sevilla — has seven goals this term from nine starts and a further eight sub appearances.
On Saturday, he grabbed his first goal since February 1 in the 2-0 win over Everton.
Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has constantly defended the player despite admitting he is ‘fragile’ when it comes to injury.
But he insists that when he is in the team, United are at their best.
Ten Hag said: “You say I defended him but I just point to the stats. The stats are telling you that the moment he is on the pitch, then the time he needs for a goal is really less than others.
“When he is in the team, I refer to games against Manchester City, against Liverpool when he’s in the team, we play our best football and have our best results as a team.
“I just pointed to the stats and I see how he contributes to this team. He is ready to start a game.”
De Gea vows to shut out contract speculation
David de Gea vowed to keep his focus amid a contract stand-off.
United reportedly want to slash his weekly wages from £375,000 to £200k but the Spanish keeper will not sign.
De Gea, 32, is out of contract this summer — although United do have an option to extend  for a further 12 months.
But he said: “It is time just to be focused as we play many games in a row.

“It is not time to lose focus and think about contracts. My aim is to  keep going and play my best.”
De Gea insists he is still one of the top flight’s best goalkeepers, despite question marks over his distribution.
The Spaniard argues that  clean sheets are  the vital stat — and he has the most in the Premier League alongside Newcastle’s Nick Pope on 13.
In all competitions, he boasts 20, second only to Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen (23).
And De Gea, who joined United in 2011 from Atletico Madrid for £17.8million, said: “When we keep a clean sheet, it means the team and I did a good job.
“But criticism is always there, you cannot please everyone. I have 20 clean sheets, close to the most in Europe, so we are doing a great job  and I help the team do it.”
Neville backs United’s for top four
Gary Neville has backed Manchester United to finish in a Champions League place while Tottenham and Newcastle battle it out for the other spot in the top four.
He has backed United to finish in the top four and thinks that the Magpies will join them even though Spurs still a “chance”.
Neville told Sky Sports: “I didn’t have Newcastle down as top-four probably three weeks ago and even after the United game, I thought ‘well they’ve got three tough away games now in West Ham, Brentford and Aston Villa.’
“You’ll probably drop points in that and it will give Tottenham and Liverpool maybe a chance.
“But looking at them now, watching them closely against Manchester United where I thought they were absolutely brilliant, I think they will finish in the top four now because their confidence will be so high.
“I thought Man Utd were really poor against Newcastle. But what we’ve seen with this side under Erik ten Hag is that they do respond and they do bounce back.”

Third round bids
A third round of bidding is expected take place between prospective Manchester United buyers by the end of the month,
That is according to Sportico, who claim that the likes of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani will have to raise their bids.
That is because there are seven prospective ownership groups and all have apparently received feedback from Raine.
According to the Daily Mail, movement on the sale process is expected this week.
Sabitzer ‘giving everything’ until summer decision
Loan midfielder Marcel Sabitzer says he’ll “give everything” until his future is decided in the summer.
The Austria star joined from Bayern Munich in January for the rest of the season after Red Devils’ playmaker Christian Eriksen got injured.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright is among those pundits urging Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag to sign Sabitzer permanently.
But the 29-year-old told German outlet BILD: “Manchester United made it clear that my loan was [a] project until the summer, then we’ll see.
“Until then, I want to give everything here. Then in the summer, the whole situation will be evaluated.”
Gunners tipped to target ex-Utd winger
Arsenal could finally land Wilfried Zaha this summer.
The ex-Manchester United winger’s Crystal Palace deal runs out this summer.
And SportBible suggest Emirates boss Mikel Arteta is tempted to launch a free transfer bid for the 30-year-old.
Zaha struggled at Old Trafford from 2013-15 but returned to Selhurst Park to thrive again.
Christian must Cara on waiting for silverware
Christian Eriksen has claimed he is still waiting for his Carabao Cup winners medal.
The midfielder missed the final against Newcastle with injury, but is still due to get one after playing in the earlier rounds.
Eriksen told Man United’s podcast: “I haven’t got it yet, no. I’m supposed to get one. I will get a medal at some point.
“It’s different though, when you don’t play in the final.
“Obviously [those who played] get it [winners medal] on the pitch, celebrate and do their stuff.
“And there’s me limping around in a boot, trying not to do too much.
“But still you want to be a part of it.”
Rashford ‘back for final weeks’
United have confirmed crocked striker Marcus Rashford will miss a “few games”.
But the Red Devils expect their 28-goal England striker to return for the “final weeks of the season”.
That means Rashford will definitely miss tomorrow’s Europa league quarter-final first leg at home to Sevilla.
Toon ‘join Arsenal and Utd in Rice race’
Newcastle have reportedly joined the race to sign Declan Rice this summer.
But they will have to see off competition from Arsenal and Manchester United for the West Ham captain.
Rice, 24, has spent his entire pro career in east London.

He’s played 232 times after making his senior debut in 2017.
But the England ace is now being tipped for a move away this summer.
Rice has made no secret of his desire to play Champions League football.
And Arsenal are thought to be leading the charge for his signature.
United are also interested in Rice as they bid to return to Europe’s elite competition.
However, Newcastle are now ready to stun their rivals after a spectacular season under Eddie Howe.
The Magpies are third in the table and look good for a shock Champions League spot after some impressive results.
Red Devils train after 999 alert
United stars are in training after an incident at Carrington that led to a 999 call.
The emergency services rushed to United’s base due to a car rolling down a bank outside.

Up to ten firetrucks, police cars and ambulances blocked the road while dealing with the incident and thankfully nobody has been hurt.
Calm around Carrington has since been restored and the players headed out for a practice session ahead of their Europa League tie with Sevilla tomorrow.

The likes of Rapheal Varane, Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial were pictured in training.
Christian Eriksen also featured as he hopes for his first start since returning from injury.
Casemiro is also expected to play tomorrow, having missed United’s previous four matches due to suspension.
However, Marcus Rashford was not seen in training after he picked up a groin issue in the 2-0 win over Everton.

Utd target Kane ‘needs a change’
Harry Kane has been urged to join either Man United or Bayern Munich this summer by Richard Keys.
He told Casinos En Ligne: “Kane’s worth now is not what it was. And as the months and then the season subsequently pass it’s only going to get less and less as his contract diminishes.
“So {Spurs} have got a big decision to make. I think that they will be looking to sell this summer. If I’m Kane I’m looking to leave this summer. I think that would suit all parties.
“I think Kane needs a change. There are two clubs that I think would suit him. The first, if he wants to be part of a project, that’s Manchester United.
“If he wants to go and win things: Bayern Munich. The only guarantee of a trophy next season for Kane is in Germany.”

Brown backing United title charge with signings
Brown has also suggested that Man United can win the Premier League title next season should they sign Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham.
He said: “If Manchester United sign Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, they win the league in the next three years. I don’t see why they couldn’t with those players and the manager they have.
“Kane wants to go to Manchester United; they’d love him. We know what he can do in the Premier League, so they aren’t messing about there. He is a bit older and will probably cost a lot of money, but he will do the job straight away.
“He’ll bring the missing piece United can’t seem to get right at the moment. They need someone that is scoring goals week in, week out.”

Brown on Rashford contract
Brown also admitted that he believes that Marcus Rashford will sign a new contract at Old Traford.
He said: “I think it will happen. Obviously, these things take time these days but, he is the star of the team, and they will do anything to keep him there.
“I just think there will be a lot of details there that both parties are going to need to be happy with, but I am pretty sure he will stay at Manchester United, and their future will be brighter together.”

Maguire faces ‘difficult decision’
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has insisted that Harry Maguire faces a difficult summer as he decides whether or not to leave the club.
He told William Hill and Footy Accumulators’ podcast, No Tippy Tappy Football: “It’s a tough one. No one wants to leave Manchester United, but Erik ten Hag isn’t playing him as much anymore. It doesn’t look like he is going to be there in the starting 11 when everyone is fit.
“It will be a difficult decision, but things could turn around quickly, and he’ll be straight back in. Football is a crazy game! I think he’ll sit down in the summer with his people and have some big chats, they’ll talk it out and see what happens from there. I think it will be up to Harry in the end.
“He plays well for England; he’s come under a lot of stick the last couple of seasons and I think he has handled it quite well. It gets to the point where it is too much but that is modern football, you have to be able to handle it. Ultimately, he’ll be disappointed he hasn’t played as much but the manager has gone with different players. Personally, he’ll have to look at it and I’m sure the manager will want him to stay, but he’ll want to talk to him and determine if he is going to play more. From there it is his decision.
“When I was a player, Sir Alex Ferguson said he wanted me to stay and that I wouldn’t be playing as much, but they still needed me. Anything can happen, and you’ll be in. I just hope that he has those conversations with the manager because I think that Harry does need to play, he is not as bad of a player as everybody thinks.”
Old Trafford misses out on Euros
Old Trafford has not been submitted as one of the ten stadiums that have been submitted for the UK and Ireland’s joint bid for Euro 2028.

RIO’S RAGE
Rio Ferdinand has recalled a blazing row with Sir Alex Ferguson that left Bayern Munich stars stunned.
The Scot, who was known for his hairdryer treatment, was on the other end of it one night – when Ferdinand disagreed with a substitution in a loss to the German giants.
And Ferdinand, 44, has revealed Bayern star Mark van Bommel thought he was a “lunatic” after witnessing the argument.
Speaking to former team-mate Ben Foster on the Fozcast, Ferdinand said: “I remember he made a substitution in the game that I didn’t agree with. After the game I remember walking off the pitch and I was screaming, going nuts in the changing room and the tunnel.
“I remember Van Bommel, the Bayern player, looking at me thinking what is going on with this guy, lunatic.”
Saka ‘is better’ than United legend
Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is a better player than Man United legend David Beckham.
He said on talkSPORT: “I’d pick Saka over Beckham if I could pick an England team.
“I said it during the World Cup, I would have Saka over Beckham.
“When I saw Saka at the World Cup, he was outstanding. In the Euros just gone as well, he was outstanding.
“Kept [Phil] Foden out of the team. If I’m picking my best England team, I’m having Saka on that right-hand side.
“Pace, scores goals, more of an all-round game. Can take players on, score goals, get assists as well. I’m picking Saka.”

Newport boss wants United prospect back
Graham Coughlan has admitted that he would like the club to re-sign Manchester United youngster Charlie McNeill, when asked about his summer transfer plans.
He told the South Wales Argus: “We had to bring in young players in January and couldn’t do what some other clubs did but I don’t think anybody has signed better when you include Harry Charsley.
“The age and experience might count against them but they have been brilliant and I hope we can keep giving them the education and development they need to go back to their parent clubs and compete for the first team after massive growth.
“But I wouldn’t say no to having them here again next season if Middlesbrough, Manchester United and Stoke were open to that. I will pursue them for sure.”

Ferdinand slams Carragher
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has responded to Jamie Carragher’s claim that Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk is “far better” than his former centre-back partner Nemanja Vidic ever was.
Ferdinand told Vibe with Five: “I see Jamie Carragher tweeted something about Van Dijk being better than Vidic.
“I think [Fernando] Torres scored three goals in 15 games against Vidic.
“It’s a bit of a myth, he had a couple of dodgy moments in those games and got sent off a couple of times and that’s been amplified into saying he got tortured every time he played against Torres which wasn’t the case.
“[Marcus] Rashford’s got six goals in 13 games against Liverpool, does that mean he’s tortured Van Dijk?”
Third round bids
A third round of bidding is expected take place between prospective Manchester United buyers by the end of the month,
That is according to Sportico, who claim that the likes of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani will have to raise their bids.

Marc my words
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has bizarrely been told to “shut up” by Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira.
Ten Hag was left fuming after star man Marcus Rashford picked up an injury in their 2-0 win over Everton.
Ferreira said: “Football here has fantastic things, but there are others that are inhumane. Nine games in a month.
“The Manchester United coach the other day complained that Rashford was injured due to the sequence of games they have.
“I would like to ask him or tell him: ‘In these next two months, I’m going to have nine games in both months. Shut up, because you don’t know what you’re saying.'”
Samir Nasri statement
Arsenal hero Samir Nasri has admitted that the Gunners were terrified about facing Manchester United with Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.
Nasri revealed in an interview with ZackNaniProd that Arsenal “s*** ourselves” when they were dismantled 4-1 on aggregate by United in the Champions League.
The ex-Manchester City star said: “It was the first time I’d seen the Emirates with such a crazy atmosphere, you had flags everywhere and all.
“When you go into a match with shivers down your spine, you can feel you’re going to have a great game.
“And we s**t ourselves. We s**t ourselves, and we came up against a great Cristiano Ronaldo.”

Never say Neves
Wolves are still working on a long-term deal for contract rebel and Manchester United target Ruben Neves, writes SunSport’s Jordan Davies.
Neves’ deal at Molineux runs out next summer – potentially ending a seven-year stay in the Midlands after joining from Porto back in 2017.
SunSport understands Wolves are preparing a last-gasp attempt to stop the 26-year-old departing for a cut-price fee.
With European interest in the midfielder cooling as of late, the player may be resigned to finally signing.
But the Portugal international’s wage demands exceeding £100,000-a-week will be the main sticking point.
Neves is also prepared to wait until the club can guarantee top flight safety – with Wolves currently four points off the drop with eight matches remaining.
Felix bid latest
Manchester United target Joao Felix is believed to be “comfortable” at Chelsea, where he plays on loan
According to AS, Felix has been linked with a move to Old Trafford after impressing at Stamford Bridge.

The Manchester giants would struggle especially if the Portugal international prefers a permanent move to the Blues from Atletico Madrid.
Harry Kane reminder
Manchester United could miss out on signing Tottenham superstar Harry Kane.
That is because United are believed to be facing competition from European powerhouse Real Madrid.

The two clubs could make a move for the star striker once his contract expires at Spurs, according to the Daily Mail.
All change at United
Man United are planning a major summer clear-out which could reportedly see as many as THIRTEEN stars shipped out.

Eriksen on ‘special’ Old Trafford
Christian Eriksen has admitted that the atmosphere at Old Trafford can help Man United
He told club media: “The vibe in the stadium as an away player was intense but not really scary.
“And then coming here and playing every game, I do get why some people – especially now and how it’s going – are scared to play because of the crowd. [They are] good people, good fans. It’s a wonderful stadium and big enough I think.
“[It was] weird [walking out of the tunnel as a United player for the first time]. The same as when you walk into the stadium, walking to the right instead of the left [to get to the] changing rooms and stuff.
“So that was a bit of a different feeling compared to being here the last few times but no, it was special.”

FER REAL
Rio Ferdinand has responded to Jamie Carragher’s claim that Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is “far better” than Nemanja Vidic ever was for Manchester United.
Carragher, 45, was critical of Liverpool’s back line in the first half against Arsenal at the weekend as the Reds fell 2-0 behind before coming back to clinch a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Ferdinand has now hit back at Carragher’s comments by defending his former centre-back partner Vidic.
Speaking on the Vibe with Five YouTube channel, he said: “I see Jamie Carragher tweeted something about Van Dijk being better than Vidic. 
“I think Torres scored three goals in 15 games against Vidic. It’s a bit of a myth, he had a couple of dodgy moments in those games and got sent off a couple of times and that’s been amplified into saying he got tortured every time he played against Torres which wasn’t the case.
“[Marcus] Rashford’s got six goals in 13 games against Liverpool, does that mean he’s tortured Van Dijk?”

INCE SACKED
Man Unit star Paul Ince has been sacked as Reading manager.
A club statement read: “Reading Football Club can confirm that the contract of first team manager Paul Ince has been terminated with immediate effect.”
“Ince took the reins on a permanent basis in the summer and, having to cope with strict transfer embargo restrictions, he helped to piece together a new squad on a much-reduced wage budget – and with five wins from our first seven home games the season began brightly.
“However, without a win in our last eight matches and with a relegation battle to fight following a six-point deduction imposed last week, owner Mr Dai Yongge has decided that a change is needed.”

Praise for Maguire

“He’s taking so much initiative, dominating his opponent, stepping in, bringing passes.
“So a really great performance”.
United backed to sign Felix
Gabby Agbonlahor has urged Man United to axe four stars and poach Joao Felix from under the noses of Chelsea.
Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “I really like what he’s [Felix] done so far. I’ve seen a different side to him at Chelsea. At Atletico, he was playing too deep and wasn’t suited to how they play.
“At Chelsea, you see him getting on the ball, twisting past players – and he’s got a bit of pace as well. I really like him, but he’s got to be more clinical.
“I don’t see any reason why Man United can’t get him. They need options if they’re in the Champions League next season.
“Martial isn’t good enough, nor is Weghorst – scrap them. Antony and Sancho haven’t been great, so you’re talking about Rashford as their only threat.
“They need help, or it could be an embarrassing time in the Champions League for them. Felix, for me, would be a good signing for them.”

EVAN ALMIGHTY
Evan Ferguson is set to become the subject of a transfer tug-of-war between three clubs, according to reports.

The Daily Mail report the two sides want the 18-year-old striker in the summer.
In the Man Utd camp, Erik ten Hag wants to overhaul his strikeforce by bringing in Ferguson and a more experienced striker.
One of the stars they are most linked with is Harry Kane at Spurs.

United legend facing sack
Former Man United star Paul Ince is reportedly on the brink of being sacked by Reading.
It comes after the Royals’ latest 2-1 defeat against Preston left them in the Championship relegation zone with just five games to go.
The result means Reading are without a win in their last eight games, with their most recent win coming back in February.
According to The Telegraph, the Reading board held crisis talks over Ince’s future at the club on Saturday following the 1-1 draw with Birmingham.
The club’s situation has not been helped after being deducted six points by EFL.
McTominay linked with Hammers
Man United midfielder Scott McTominay has been linked with a move to West Ham by various reports.
The Scottish star could leave Old Trafford in the summer as one of many fringe players to be sold to bolster the club’s transfer budget.
West Ham could view the McTominay as a replacement for the highly sought-after Declan Rice.

Good morning Man Utd fans
Man Utd are interested in signing Celta Vigo starlet Gabri Veiga, according to reports.
The Red Devils are “keeping tabs” on the 20-year-old having been impressed by his displays in Spain this season.
Veiga, 20, has bagged nine goals and laid on four assists in 26 LaLiga appearances from midfield this term.
But according to Football Insider, Arsenal are also keen on making a bid and could cough up more cash.

And Fabrizio Romano says Raya has categorically rejected the chance to extend his Bees deal, leading to a potential summer exit.
United will now have to fork over £35m for the gloveman, and also face a battle against Chelsea for his signature.
Finally, Wolves are still working on a long-term deal for contract rebel Ruben Neves.
The Portuguese midfielder’s deal at Molineux runs out next summer.
However, SunSport understands Wolves are preparing a last-gasp attempt to stop the 26-year-old leaving for a cut-price fee.
Arsenal were previously monitoring the situation, while Manchester United have come close to nabbing the £40m-rated playmaker on two separate occasions.

Never say Neves
Wolves are still working on a long-term deal for contract rebel and Manchester United target Ruben Neves, writes SunSport’s Jordan Davies.
Neves’ deal at Molineux runs out next summer – potentially ending a seven-year stay in the Midlands after joining from Porto back in 2017.
SunSport understands Wolves are preparing a last-gasp attempt to stop the 26-year-old departing for a cut-price fee.
With European interest in the midfielder cooling as of late, the player may be resigned to finally signing.
But the Portugal international’s wage demands exceeding £100,000-a-week will be the main sticking point.
Neves is also prepared to wait until the club can guarantee top flight safety – with Wolves currently four points off the drop with eight matches remaining.
Felix bid latest
Manchester United target Joao Felix is believed to be “comfortable” at Chelsea, where he plays on loan
According to AS, Felix has been linked with a move to Old Trafford after impressing at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Red Devils appear to be facing an uphill battle to sign striker.
The Manchester giants would struggle especially if the Portugal international prefers a permanent move to the Blues from Atletico Madrid.
Harry Kane reminder
Manchester United could miss out on signing Tottenham superstar Harry Kane.
That is because United are believed to be facing competition from European powerhouse Real Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping tabs on Kane ahead of the summer transfer window.
The two clubs could make a move for the star striker once his contract expires at Spurs, according to the Daily Mail.
All change at United
Man United are planning a major summer clear-out which could reportedly see as many as THIRTEEN stars shipped out.
Boss Erik ten Hag wants to get his squad into better shape for another campaign challenging on multiple fronts next season.
But the set of players he wants to move on has some more than decent quality in it.

Felix ‘comfortbale’ at Chelsea
Reported Man United target Joao Felix is believed to be ‘comfortable at Chelsea.
According to AS, the Portugeuse attacker has been linked with a move to Old Trafford after impressing at Stamford Bridge.
However, they appear to be facing an uphill battle to sign Felix if he would prefer a permanent move to the Blues from Atletico Madrid.

Hammers linked with Wan-Bissaka
West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Man United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka after missing out on him in the January window.
According to a report from Football Insider, the Hammers are hoping to upgrade their right-back spot in the summer and the former Crystal Palace man is a target.
However, they would have to beat the Eagles to the defender as they are also monitoring his situation at Old Trafford.
Rasford ‘happy’ at United
Marcus Rashford is reportedly “not happy” with reports suggesting he wants a crazy salary and believes the club is on the edge of success.
Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “Marcus Rashford was not happy with recent reports of “crazy” salary requests.
“He’s understood to be really happy with how things are developing at Man Utd and feels success is around the corner.
“New deal talks will continue soon – Rashford loves working under ten Hag.”
Eriksen on ‘special’ Old Trafford
Christian Eriksen has admitted that the atmosphere at Old Trafford can help Man United
He told club media: “The vibe in the stadium as an away player was intense but not really scary.
“And then coming here and playing every game, I do get why some people – especially now and how it’s going – are scared to play because of the crowd. [They are] good people, good fans. It’s a wonderful stadium and big enough I think.
“[It was] weird [walking out of the tunnel as a United player for the first time]. The same as when you walk into the stadium, walking to the right instead of the left [to get to the] changing rooms and stuff.
“So that was a bit of a different feeling compared to being here the last few times but no, it was special.”

FER REAL
Rio Ferdinand has responded to Jamie Carragher’s claim that Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is “far better” than Nemanja Vidic ever was for Manchester United.
Carragher, 45, was critical of Liverpool’s back line in the first half against Arsenal at the weekend as the Reds fell 2-0 behind before coming back to clinch a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Ferdinand has now hit back at Carragher’s comments by defending his former centre-back partner Vidic.
Speaking on the Vibe with Five YouTube channel, he said: “I see Jamie Carragher tweeted something about Van Dijk being better than Vidic. 
“I think Torres scored three goals in 15 games against Vidic. It’s a bit of a myth, he had a couple of dodgy moments in those games and got sent off a couple of times and that’s been amplified into saying he got tortured every time he played against Torres which wasn’t the case.
“[Marcus] Rashford’s got six goals in 13 games against Liverpool, does that mean he’s tortured Van Dijk?”

INCE SACKED
Man Unit star Paul Ince has been sacked as Reading manager.
A club statement read: “Reading Football Club can confirm that the contract of first team manager Paul Ince has been terminated with immediate effect.”
“Ince took the reins on a permanent basis in the summer and, having to cope with strict transfer embargo restrictions, he helped to piece together a new squad on a much-reduced wage budget – and with five wins from our first seven home games the season began brightly.
“However, without a win in our last eight matches and with a relegation battle to fight following a six-point deduction imposed last week, owner Mr Dai Yongge has decided that a change is needed.”

Kane blow
Man United could reportedly miss out on signing Tottenham star Harry Kane.
The Red Devils are believed to be facing competition from European powerhouses Real Madrid and PSG.
The two clubs could make a move for the England International once his contract expires at Spurs, according to the Daily Mail.

Praise for Maguire
Erik ten Hag has heaped praise on Harry Maguire after the victory over Everton.
He said: “Maguire was dominating, dictating.
“This is a different Harry to what I’ve seen in the first weeks and months.
“He’s taking so much initiative, dominating his opponent, stepping in, bringing passes.
“So a really great performance”.
United backed to sign Felix
Gabby Agbonlahor has urged Man United to axe four stars and poach Joao Felix from under the noses of Chelsea.
Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “I really like what he’s [Felix] done so far. I’ve seen a different side to him at Chelsea. At Atletico, he was playing too deep and wasn’t suited to how they play.
“At Chelsea, you see him getting on the ball, twisting past players – and he’s got a bit of pace as well. I really like him, but he’s got to be more clinical.
“I don’t see any reason why Man United can’t get him. They need options if they’re in the Champions League next season.
“Martial isn’t good enough, nor is Weghorst – scrap them. Antony and Sancho haven’t been great, so you’re talking about Rashford as their only threat.
“They need help, or it could be an embarrassing time in the Champions League for them. Felix, for me, would be a good signing for them.”

EVAN ALMIGHTY
Evan Ferguson is set to become the subject of a transfer tug-of-war between three clubs, according to reports.
The teenage sensation has burst onto the scene this season, scoring eight goals since his breakthrough into Brighton’s senior team.
Despite his youth, the qualities he is showing have seen interest in him emerge from Manchester United and Tottenham.
The Daily Mail report the two sides want the 18-year-old striker in the summer.
In the Man Utd camp, Erik ten Hag wants to overhaul his strikeforce by bringing in Ferguson and a more experienced striker.
One of the stars they are most linked with is Harry Kane at Spurs.

United legend facing sack
Former Man United star Paul Ince is reportedly on the brink of being sacked by Reading.
It comes after the Royals’ latest 2-1 defeat against Preston left them in the Championship relegation zone with just five games to go.
The result means Reading are without a win in their last eight games, with their most recent win coming back in February.
According to The Telegraph, the Reading board held crisis talks over Ince’s future at the club on Saturday following the 1-1 draw with Birmingham.
The club’s situation has not been helped after being deducted six points by EFL.
McTominay linked with Hammers
Man United midfielder Scott McTominay has been linked with a move to West Ham by various reports.
The Scottish star could leave Old Trafford in the summer as one of many fringe players to be sold to bolster the club’s transfer budget.
West Ham could view the McTominay as a replacement for the highly sought-after Declan Rice.

Good morning Man Utd fans
Man Utd are interested in signing Celta Vigo starlet Gabri Veiga, according to reports.
The Red Devils are “keeping tabs” on the 20-year-old having been impressed by his displays in Spain this season.
Veiga, 20, has bagged nine goals and laid on four assists in 26 LaLiga appearances from midfield this term.
But according to Football Insider, Arsenal are also keen on making a bid and could cough up more cash.
Meanwhile, Man Utd have been told to pay £35million for Brentford goalie David Raya.
The Spaniard is being eyed as a replacement for compatriot David De Gea.
And Fabrizio Romano says Raya has categorically rejected the chance to extend his Bees deal, leading to a potential summer exit.
United will now have to fork over £35m for the gloveman, and also face a battle against Chelsea for his signature.
Finally, Wolves are still working on a long-term deal for contract rebel Ruben Neves.
The Portuguese midfielder’s deal at Molineux runs out next summer.
However, SunSport understands Wolves are preparing a last-gasp attempt to stop the 26-year-old leaving for a cut-price fee.

Unlucky number for summer exits
Man Utd are ready to clear the shelves this summer.
That’s by ditching a whopping 13 players.
The Mail claims stalwarts like captain Harry Maguire will leave Old Trafford this summer.
And that will open the door for Erik ten Hag to bring in numerous signings who fit his tactics better.

Candy Kane sweet for Devils
Man Utd have been given a boost in their pursuit of Harry Kane.
That’s because Bayern Munich admit they may not be able to afford the England captain this summer.
Kane could finally leave Tottenham as he approaches the end of his contract and career.
But Bayern’s chief financial officer Dr Michael Diederich revealed: “I don’t rule anything out but can we afford such a transfer and do we want such a transfer? We have to keep an eye on our profitability.”
Super Harry on the up
Erik ten Hag believes Harry Maguire is finally proving his worth to Man Utd.
The Dutchman said: “It is not that easy for Harry [to be rotated]. And then if you then deliver the performance he did today, really well done, in and out of possession, dominating and dictating.
“I think this is a different Harry Maguire [to] what I have seen in the first weeks, months.
“He’s taken so much initiative, dominating his opponent, stepping in, bringing passes. So a really great performance from Harry.”

The Mail report that the £44m-rated defender is being tracked by United with an eye on a summer move.
But there are several clubs interested in the 25-year-old.
The Red Devils are believed to be in the market for a centre-back with uncertainty hanging over Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.

Eriksen Opens Up
Christian Eriksen has lifted the lid on how ended up signing for United last season – and revealed Erik ten Hag had a big influence.
The Dane had appeared content at Brentford as he made his comeback from his heart issues.
But then United swooped and Eriksen said he could not resist the project.
He told United’s in-house podcast: “Well I ended up being at Brentford until the summer obviously and the contract was running out.
“At the time, I wasn’t closed down on going back to Brentford, I wanted to see what else came in or [if] something could tempt me away from how good it was there. 
“[I was] speaking to the manager on the phone and then I could actually see myself going to United.
“Luckily, they pulled through [to make the move] and I did as well. So, in the end, coming here was definitely very special.” 
Raya Light
Brentford goalkeeper David Raya will not sign a new deal at the club, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The 24-year-old’s contract expires in the summer of 2024 and Brentford are believed to want £35m to sell him at the end of this season.
The highly-rated Spanish goalie has been linked to Man United and other Premier League big-hitters in recent weeks.
The Moment
Steve Bruce, Sir Alex Ferguson, Brian Kidd and thousands of United fans inside Old Trafford could barely contain themselves 30 years ago today.
Two late goals for Bruce saw the Red Devils beat Sheffield Wednesday and set themselves on course for the title.
Bruce’s winner was arguably the decisive moment in the 1992-93 title race
30 Years Ago Today
It’s been 30 years since one of the most famous days in Man United’s Premier League history.
April 10, 1993 saw United beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 with two late goals with Steve Bruce.
The Red Devils were chasing their first title since 1967 in the Prem’s debut season but faced fierce competition from Aston Villa and Norwich.
Bruce’s winner in the 96th minute sparked wild celebrations on the Old Trafford touchline with Sir Alex Ferguson and assistant Brian Kidd losing all composure.
United would go on to claim the league and the comeback against Wednesday was a pivotal moment in the run-in.
Rashford Watch
Man United fans will anxiously be checking their phones throughout the day as they await updates on Marcus Rashford.
The 25-year-old limped off injured in the final 10 minutes of Saturday’s win over Everton.
The star appeared to be holding his groin as he went off after overstretching for the ball.
An update from the club is expected today and supporters will hope the news is good.
Rashford has provided an overwhelming share of United’s goals in the second-half of the season and has recently moved up front after Erik ten Hag finally dropped the struggling Wout Weghorst.
The Brighton Duo
Manchester United are believed to still be interested in the Brighton pair of Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.
Both players have lit up the Premier League since arriving at the Amex and will likely command huge transfer fees.
Caicedo tried to jump ship in January after Arsenal intensified efforts to land him.
While Mac Allister’s stock rose after he played a key part in Argentina’s World Cup win.
Sevilla Up Next
It’s Europa League action up next for Erik ten Hag’s men as they turn their attentions back to Europe.
It’s the third time in a row United will face Spanish opposition in this competition and the fourth time through the whole tournament.
Apart from a home defeat against Real Sociedad in the group stages, the Red Devils have been comfortable in seeing off the threats from Spain.
And based on current form, Sevilla should not give United too much to worry about.
The six-times Europa League winners are currently sitting 13th, only five points off the relegation zone.
‘A Different Harry’
Erik ten Hag has lauded praise on Harry Maguire’s performances as he reflected on his improvement throughout the season.
Following United’s 2-0 win against Everton, the Dutchman told reporters: “It is not that easy for Harry [to be rotated with the other centre-backs].
“And then if you then deliver the performance he did today, really well done, in and out of possession, dominating and dictating.
“I think this is a different Harry Maguire [to] what I have seen in the first weeks, months.
“He’s taken so much initiative, dominating his opponent, stepping in, bringing passes. So a really great performance from Harry.”
MORNING UTD FANS
Man Utd will learn the full extent of Marcus Rashford’s injury on Monday.
The club’s 28-goal top scorer limped out of the action towards the end of their 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday with what is understood to be a groin injury.
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 have key players walking the tightrope of suspension against Sevilla in their Europa League quarter-final clash.
Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro will be suspended for the second leg, if they are booked during next week’s clash.
That means United’s midfield stars will have to watch their tackles or face missing out on the return tie.
Man Utd target Victor Osimhen has dealt the Red Devils a blow by revealing his happiness at Napoli.
The Nigerian striker has been sensational in Serie A – as the Naples giants close in on a historic league title.
And he has spoken to L’Equipe to speak about how much he loves the club.
Man Utd might get a free pass to Harry Kane – with Bayern Munich’s chief financial officer admitting the Bavarians might not be able to afford him.
Dr Michael Diederich revealed: “I don’t rule anything out but can we afford such a transfer and do we want such a transfer? We have to keep an eye on our profitability.”
That will be music to Utd fans’ ears, who are desperate to add a No9 to their squad.

It is understood that they were there to watch Kokcu and Gimenez in action.
Broadcaster Richard Keys has slammed Erik ten Hag for his criticism of fixture congestion.
United are in the midst of a run of three games in eight days and Keys did not have sympathy with the Dutch boss.
The ex-Sky Sports man said: “Erik, as regards the scheduling and injuries, it’s the English Premier League. If you don’t like it, there is always of course Eredivisie, where you can go and ply your trade.”
Rashford blow
Man Utd will learn the full extent of Marcus Rashford’s injury on Monday.
The club’s 28-goal top scorer limped out of the action towards the end of their 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday with what is understood to be a groin injury.

Man Utd representatives were in Rotterdam on Wednesday for the KNVB Cup semi-final clash between Ten Hag’s former club Ajax and Feyenoord.
It is understood that they were there to watch Kokcu and Gimenez in action.
Keane destroys Carragher
Man Utd legend Roy Keane had one word to describe Jamie Carragher’s defending after Micah Richards showed a clip of the Liverpool legend in action.
The Anfield icon was bamboozled by Thierry Henry as the Arsenal hero netted a stunning solo goal in a 4-2 win over the Reds at Highbury in 2004.
Henry left Carragher tripping up over his own feet before coolly slotting into the back of the net.
Showing the clip on Sky Sports, Richards brutally joked: “Jamie’s always talking about body positions, and I just want to look at your body position here.
“Because I don’t know if you was dancing, or you was twisting. You twist one way, you twist the other, and you take [Igor] Biscan out of the game as well!”
Carragher then replied: “My only defence is it was against the greatest player to ever play in the Premier League.”
Manchester United legend Keane then chimed in, joking: “Did you just come back from injury Jamie?”
And when asked how he would describe the defending, Keane simply said: “Shocking.”

The Red Devils were chasing their first title since 1967 in the Prem’s debut season but faced fierce competition from Aston Villa and Norwich.
Bruce’s winner in the 96th minute sparked wild celebrations on the Old Trafford touchline with Sir Alex Ferguson and assistant Brian Kidd losing all composure.
United would go on to claim the league and the comeback against Wednesday was a pivotal moment in the run-in.
Rashford Watch
Man United fans will anxiously be checking their phones throughout the day as they await updates on Marcus Rashford.
The 25-year-old limped off injured in the final 10 minutes of Saturday’s win over Everton.
The star appeared to be holding his groin as he went off after overstretching for the ball.
An update from the club is expected today and supporters will hope the news is good.
Rashford has provided an overwhelming share of United’s goals in the second-half of the season and has recently moved up front after Erik ten Hag finally dropped the struggling Wout Weghorst.
The Brighton Duo
Manchester United are believed to still be interested in the Brighton pair of Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.
Both players have lit up the Premier League since arriving at the Amex and will likely command huge transfer fees.
Caicedo tried to jump ship in January after Arsenal intensified efforts to land him.
While Mac Allister’s stock rose after he played a key part in Argentina’s World Cup win.
Sevilla Up Next
It’s Europa League action up next for Erik ten Hag’s men as they turn their attentions back to Europe.
It’s the third time in a row United will face Spanish opposition in this competition and the fourth time through the whole tournament.
Apart from a home defeat against Real Sociedad in the group stages, the Red Devils have been comfortable in seeing off the threats from Spain.
And based on current form, Sevilla should not give United too much to worry about.
The six-times Europa League winners are currently sitting 13th, only five points off the relegation zone.
‘A Different Harry’
Erik ten Hag has lauded praise on Harry Maguire’s performances as he reflected on his improvement throughout the season.
Following United’s 2-0 win against Everton, the Dutchman told reporters: “It is not that easy for Harry [to be rotated with the other centre-backs].
“And then if you then deliver the performance he did today, really well done, in and out of possession, dominating and dictating.
“I think this is a different Harry Maguire [to] what I have seen in the first weeks, months.
“He’s taken so much initiative, dominating his opponent, stepping in, bringing passes. So a really great performance from Harry.”
MORNING UTD FANS
Man Utd will learn the full extent of Marcus Rashford’s injury on Monday.
The club’s 28-goal top scorer limped out of the action towards the end of their 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday with what is understood to be a groin injury.
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 have key players walking the tightrope of suspension against Sevilla in their Europa League quarter-final clash.
Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro will be suspended for the second leg, if they are booked during next week’s clash.
That means United’s midfield stars will have to watch their tackles or face missing out on the return tie.
Man Utd target Victor Osimhen has dealt the Red Devils a blow by revealing his happiness at Napoli.
The Nigerian striker has been sensational in Serie A – as the Naples giants close in on a historic league title.
And he has spoken to L’Equipe to speak about how much he loves the club.
Man Utd might get a free pass to Harry Kane – with Bayern Munich’s chief financial officer admitting the Bavarians might not be able to afford him.
Dr Michael Diederich revealed: “I don’t rule anything out but can we afford such a transfer and do we want such a transfer? We have to keep an eye on our profitability.”
That will be music to Utd fans’ ears, who are desperate to add a No9 to their squad.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag sent scouts to watch two Feyenoord players in action earlier this week, according to reports.
According to The Mirror, he has his sights set on Feyenoord duo Orkun Kokcu and Santiago Gimenez.
Man Utd representatives were in Rotterdam on Wednesday for the KNVB Cup semi-final clash between Ten Hag’s former club Ajax and Feyenoord.
It is understood that they were there to watch Kokcu and Gimenez in action.
Broadcaster Richard Keys has slammed Erik ten Hag for his criticism of fixture congestion.
United are in the midst of a run of three games in eight days and Keys did not have sympathy with the Dutch boss.
The ex-Sky Sports man said: “Erik, as regards the scheduling and injuries, it’s the English Premier League. If you don’t like it, there is always of course Eredivisie, where you can go and ply your trade.”

Keane destroys Carragher
Man Utd legend Roy Keane had one word to describe Jamie Carragher’s defending after Micah Richards showed a clip of the Liverpool legend in action.
The Anfield icon was bamboozled by Thierry Henry as the Arsenal hero netted a stunning solo goal in a 4-2 win over the Reds at Highbury in 2004.
Henry left Carragher tripping up over his own feet before coolly slotting into the back of the net.
Showing the clip on Sky Sports, Richards brutally joked: “Jamie’s always talking about body positions, and I just want to look at your body position here.
“Because I don’t know if you was dancing, or you was twisting. You twist one way, you twist the other, and you take [Igor] Biscan out of the game as well!”
Carragher then replied: “My only defence is it was against the greatest player to ever play in the Premier League.”
Manchester United legend Keane then chimed in, joking: “Did you just come back from injury Jamie?”
And when asked how he would describe the defending, Keane simply said: “Shocking.”
Dave Saves
David De Gea has hit 20 clean sheets for the season in all competitions.
The goalkeeper is in the race for the Golden Glove with Newcastle’s Nick Pope, who has kept 13 Premier League clean sheets, the same number as De Gea.
The Toon’s defence is better as they have conceded 16 goals less.
Bayern rule out Kane move
Bayern Munich have seemingly ruled out a move for Spurs striker Harry Kane.
The England record goalscorer has been linked with moves to both United and the German champions.
But chief financial officer Dr Michael Diederich has hinted they won’t be after Kane this summer.
He said: “I don’t rule anything out but can we afford such a transfer and do we want such a transfer? We have to keep an eye on our profitability.”
Keys slams Ten Hag

Yorke on ownership
Ex-United striker has claimed he is not bothered who the owner of the club is – providing they are willing to spend big.
Yorke told LegalSportsbooks.com: “I don’t know the individuals enough to make such a statement of who I would prefer to own the club.
“Mr Ratcliffe is a local guy and Manchester United fan, but we’ve heard all of this through the media, we don’t know the ins and outs of who to favour. You hear this and that about Qatari human rights but that’s all from the media so we don’t know. 
“For me, it’s about who buys the club with the interest of the club, makes the fans happy and gets them back to competing against the best in the world again.
“Why would I want to get involved in the politics of it? As a player, all you want is an investment into the team and training facilities, that’s all you should care about.
“You want to play with the best players and compete for the number one spot in England and Europe.”
Raya to leave Brentford
Man Utd target David Raya looks set to leave Brentford, according to reports.
The stopper is out of contract next summer and the Bees want to cash-in at the end of this season.
A £40m price tag is on his head, claims Fabrizio Romano.
De Gea on fixture congestion
David De Gea has opened up on fixture congestion with United in the midst of three games in eight days.
The goalkeeper said: “As the manager said, we will need everyone at some point because we have many, many games. It’s hard to recover from so many games, but everyone is ready, everyone is training well.
“Playing Wednesday night and playing Saturday is not easy. The energy displayed by the team, the intensity, the desire were incredible, we controlled the game from start to finish. The team put in a great performance and it was very enjoyable.
“It doesn’t matter who is playing. Everyone is ready to play, even those who are on the bench today still have a very big impact.
“We have a very good group. It’s great to see everyone push in the same direction.”
Eyes on Sevilla
Man Utd are back in action on Thursday in the Europa League quarter-finals against Sevilla.
The Spanish side head to Old Trafford in the midst of an awful season.
They are onto their third manager of the campaign in Jose Luis Mendilibar and the team sit 13th in LaLiga, just five points above the drop zone.
However, Sevilla come with European pedigree having won the competition more times than anyone else, winning it on six occassions.

Man Utd are monitoring Feyenoord duo Orkun Kokcu and Santiago Gimenez, according to reports from The Mirror.
A number of scouts from Premier League clubs like Tottenham, Brighton, West Ham and Tottenham recently watched them play against Ajax.

Incredible Martial stat
Anthony Martial has incredibly registered a goal or an assist every 89 minutes this season.
The Frenchman has seven goals and two assists in 17 games in all competitions.
He has started just nine games.
Pundit Paul Scholes thinks he can get 20-25 goals a season if he keeps fit.

Casemiro welcomed
When Casemiro first joined Man Utd he did not speak English.
But thankfully, he was left shocked when assistant coach Eric Ramsey began speaking to him in Spanish, he is fluent in the language.
This reportedly help the ex-Real Madrid man settle into life at his new club, claim Manchester Evening News.
Seagull Swoop
Man Utd are interested in signing Brighton duo Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag is eager to add to his midfield ranks ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
And according to The Telegraph, he believes that both Mac Allister and Caicedo would be a perfect fit for the Red Devils.
United have struggled this season when missing Casemiro and Christian Eriksen in midfield.
And with loan star Marcel Sabitzer set to return to Bayern Munich this summer, reinforcements will undoubtedly be required to build on the club’s current form.
However, it will cost a lot to tempt the Brighton duo away from the Amex Stadium.
Exclusive: No rush to sell McTominay
Man Utd will demand at least £50MILLION before considering selling Scott McTominay this summer.
Newcastle are one of a host of clubs who are big admirers of the Scottish midfielder — who has been at Old Trafford since he was a kid.
But United bosses have made it clear to both the player and would-be suitors that he is still a valuable member of the squad and they will not be pressured into a sale.
McTominay, 26, is under contract for another two years, with the club also having the option to extend by 12 months beyond that.
Although United are looking to raise transfer funds, they are in no rush to cash in on the man whose two goals gave Scotland a famous win over Spain.

Maguire praised by Ten Hag
Harry Maguire has been praised by Erik ten Hag after a great performance against Everton.
The Dutchman said: “That was a different Harry Maguire to what I’ve seen in the first weeks and months.
“It’s not been that easy for Harry but the demand is on him. He did really well today, in and out of possession, dominating his opponent, dictating and bringing passes.”
Maguire has featured in only five minutes across three home Premier League games since he started against Bournemouth at the beginning of January.
Ten Hag gives Rashford update
Manager Erik ten Hag has given an update on the fitness of Marcus Rashford after he went off injured in the win over Everton.
The boss also slammed the schedule of fixtures.
He said: “We have to wait. He doesn’t look well.
“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.”
Scholes predicts Kane blow
Man Utd legend Paul Scholes believes Harry Kane will choose to stay at Tottenham this summer despite interest from the Red Devils.
Kane, 29, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks.
But according to Scholes, the England skipper would not be the best fit for Man Utd.
When speaking to BT Sport, the 48-year-old said: “I think goals are a problem, [United are] a long way behind City and Arsenal at the top of the table goals wise.
“I think Harry is very happy where he is. If he was going to move it would have been to Man City a couple of years ago. 
“He would be fantastic, 25 goals guaranteed, but it’s very difficult for him to move at 30 years of age.
“It’s a risk as well for Man Utd, if you put all your eggs in that Harry Kane basket and all of a sudden Daniel Levy is messing you about, you might end up with no one.
“If you get him early, brilliant, but I just think he’s very happy at Tottenham doing what he’s doing.”

Top four race
Man Utd secured a huge win over Everton 2-0 yesterday, helping ease concerns of just a Europa League finish.
However, United fans may still be concerned as Newcastle secured a great win over Brentford 2-1.
The game between Tottenham and Brighton ended 2-1 to the hosts.
This means that Man Utd and Newcastle have a three-point cushion ahead of Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Brighton trail by seven points but have two games in hand.
Aston Villa are in the mix too, but they remain six points away.
Good Morning United fans
Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham has been put on full blast because he “doesn’t have discipline”.
That is according to Liverpool hero Dietmar Hamann, who insists Bellingham needs to work on his game if he wants to join a bigger club.
The midfielder has attracted immense interest from some of Europe’s heaviest hitters, such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and the Reds.
Hamann told Sky Sports: “What Bellingham doesn’t have is discipline.“He may want to return to the island [England] or Real Madrid. He has to play differently.
“At Dortmund he can do what he wants. Nobody dares to say anything. Because they’re afraid of upsetting him. If you have that as a team-mate, you’ll have a problem.
“If he doesn’t do anything forwards and backwards, what does he do then?
“Obviously he is an exceptional player. But he has to get his discipline under control.”
Manchester United legend Bryan Robson was involved in a car crash while heading to watch his old club’s victory over Everton on Saturday.
The 66-year-old was driving to Old Trafford when his blue Mercedes S350d was hit from behind by another vehicle – damaging the boot and bumper.
Police officers attended, closing one lane while debris was removed from the dual carriageway.
Robson – nicknamed Captain Marvel during his playing days – stood on the grass embankment hugging a young lad while chatting to cops.
The ex-midfielder was dressed in official club colours ready for his role as a Manchester United ambassador.
Bayern Munich are keen to hijack Man Utd’s move for Harry Kane, according to reports.
Bayern insider Christian Falk told CaughtOffside: “There are always rumours about FC Bayern but they haven’t discussed Füllkrug yet. There is still a little hope that they can sign Harry Kane, but Bayern also now have an eye on Randal Kolo Muani of Frankfurt.”
According to Falk, Tuchel is desperate for a new No9 with doubts over Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s fitness.
“The new manager, Thomas Tuchel, is checking the squad at the moment to determine whether he needs new players in the summer,” Falk continued.
“At the moment, they’re focusing on the No.9 position. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is 34 years old and has problems with his back.
Mathys Tel is very talented, but just 17 years old. Bayern want to discuss the potential need for a new striker at the end of the season.”
Man Utd loanee Eric Bailly is expected to return to Old Trafford at the end of the season, reports suggest.
The 28-year-old joined Marseille on a season-long loan in August after falling out of favour with Erik ten Hag.
His current contract includes an £8.4million obligation to buy clause, which will be triggered if he makes 19 Ligue 1 appearances and Marseille qualify for the Champions League.
However, according to French outlet La Provence, Bailly is not expected to meet that target.
The defender has made just 11 league appearances for the Olympians so far this season. And he is not expected to play a part in the majority of the club’s nine remaining Ligue 1 games.
Man Utd target Ousmane Dembele’s contract talks have stalled, according to reports in Spain.
The 25-year-old has just 12 months left on his current deal.Sport report that the negotiations have hit a stumbling block because the Catalans can’t afford the French star’s demands.
That news has put several Premier League clubs on red alert.
