“It’s a big blow because he’s been by far and away Manchester United’s best player, he’s been their biggest goal threat,” Scholes said.

“I think it’s something that he actually picked up in the Manchester City

game, where he got a bit of a knock on his back, but he played the Norwich game and was excellent on Saturday .

“This was an opportunity for him to have a break tonight and okay, it didn’t work out because he had to come on as United were struggling a little bit but I think he’ll be ok. Maybe a bit of ice and a couple of days rest but he’ll be alright for Sunday. “

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted he regretted putting Rashford on against Wolves, but remained positive about his chances for the weekend.

He said: “I did not want to play him. I think he got a knock, a knee or something, in his back, but he’s been struggling for a little while.

“That’s why we’ve kept him away (from starting against Wolves), but we needed the win.”

“He’s a quick healer and he’ll play through some pain, definitely, if he’s capable and it’s not a bad, bad injury, but we’ve seen that he’s struggled lately .
