Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has shown that Marcus Rashford injured his shoulder in the Red Devils’ 1-3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Solskjaer, in a post-match interview, said Rashford’s injury would require medical attention and they are confident that the 23-year-old game maker will be compatible for his next Premier League clash with West Ham.
“That shoulder injury hurts. Let’s see how quickly he can recover. I hope he’s in a position for the West Ham game. But we don’t know,” Solskjaer told BT Sport after the final whistle, Manchester United’s official website reported.
Rashford scored the tie for Manchester United with a goal 32 minutes after Neymar scored the first goal of the match on Wednesday. The English striker ejected and replaced by Paul Pogba 15 minutes from the attack at Old Trafford. The score 1-1. Even though the hosts started the next era with a dominant performance, Marquinhos put PSG back in front, and with Rashford’s departure soon after, Solskajer’s team never recovered while Neymar made the 1-3 overtime.

If I were a coach, and one of My players did that, he would never I’d play for myself again. It’s pathetic. In general, you have to blame Fred but also Solskjaer. The coach will have to protect him and the team in this scenario so that they are to blame, Own, he said in an interview after the match.
