Marcus Rashford will miss United's Europa League quarter-final first-leg match against Sevilla due to a muscular issue that will keep him out for "a few games," according to the club.

The 25-year-old, who has 28 goals for Erik Ten Hag's side this season, clipped out of Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton.


"Due to a muscle injury, Marcus Rashford is going to be unavailable for Thursday's UEFA Europa League quarter-final match against Sevilla," United announced.

"In the 80th minute of play of Saturday's 2-0 Premier League (PL) win over Everton at Old Trafford, the forward was withdrawn and immediately headed to the dressing room for treatment."

"Subsequent evaluation of the injury indicated that Marcus will not be available for a few games, but is projected to be back for the season run-in."
