Rashford continues to suffer from a foot injury
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted after Manchester United's 2-0 first leg win in the Europa League quarter-finals in Granada. “If you play in Spain, score two goals and keep clean, that's a very good result for us,” said the coach of the English football champions on Thursday evening. There was special praise for the goal scorers Marcus Rashford (31st) and Bruno Fernandes (90th / Elfer).
For Rashford it was the 20th competitive game goal this season. The 23-year-old was replaced half an hour before the end due to stubborn foot problems. It should still be available on Sunday (5.30 p.m. CEST / live Sky) in the league camp near Tottenham. “He has not yet fully recovered from it,” said Solskjaer of the injury that has been hindering the England striker for several weeks. “We hope it hasn't gotten any worse.”
United is already ten rounds unbeaten in the league and with 14 points behind in a game less the first pursuer of the city rivals Manchester City, who have almost been established as champions, who receive promoted Leeds United on Saturday (1.30pm CEST / live Sky). The Solskjaer team has not lost 22 Premier League away games in a row. Tottenham, sixth in the table, urgently needs points in the fight for the Champions League places.
