Marcus Rashford hobbled off the pitch with what seemed like a groin injury during his side’s 2-0 win against Everton on Saturday afternoon.
The English forward has been hands down his side’s best player since returning from the World Cup in December and has spearheaded the attack in all competitions.
But it looks like the frequency of games has cost Rashford as he came off injured during the win on Saturday.
The Red Devils are currently in the middle of a heated top-four race; losing him now would be devastating.
Speaking after the game, Erik ten Hag revealed the extent of the injury.
