Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag faces a possible crisis up front after confirming Marcus Rashford has picked up a “muscle injury”
Rashford has been ruled out of Thursday’s Europa League match with FC Sheriff and with Anthony Martial also injured, Cristiano Ronaldo is the only main option in attack.
Marcus Rashford picked up an injury after the Arsenal clash.

“No, I don’t think [he will be out] too long, but I cannot tell how long. It’s not really bad and we expect him to be back quite soon.” Erik Ten hag said.

Rashford’s resuscitated form has raised questions as to whether he should be included in Gareth Southgate’s England World Cup squad and Erik Ten Hag believes he deserves the chance.

“It’s quite clear [he can make England squad], sure, yes,” the Dutchman said. “He’s shown his great potential and quality.”

The appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo has been highly predicted by Sheriff supporters but the Portuguese forward has only started two matches in all competitions since the start of the Premier League season.

Ten Hag has remained tight-lipped on whether Ronaldo would feature in Moldova.

It will be the first time United and Sheriff have met, and both had opposing starts to their Europa League campaign.

Erik Ten hag is not underestimating his opposition and is expecting a tough match.

“It’s quite clear, they beat Real Madrid and Shakhtar, they are capable,” he said.

“We have to make it our game but we are aware of that fact. They are a serious and respectable opponent and we have to play our best for the win.”

Meanwhile, United goalkeeper David de Gea also stated the significance of the match, despite believing his side should not be competing in the Europa League.

“I think it’s a great competition,” the Spain goalkeeper said. “We should be playing the Champions League, but this is the competition we play for, so we play for everything.

“I have great memories of this competition and tomorrow we have another big game against Sheriff.

Manchester United fans worldwide are hoping the team would make up for the 1:0 loss to real sociedad in their opening Europa League campaign by beating FC Sheriff today.
