Marcus Rashford has Manchester United fans sweating after his team posted a worrying fitness update. 2-1 win against Barcelona on Thursday.
Rashford, perhaps Europe’s most in-form player at the moment, took a knock and shook off a challenge from Ronald Araujo in the second half, although he was eventually replaced with two minutes left.
After the game, the forward took to Instagram to post a photo of himself walking with his boots off, along with an injured emoji.

Fan footage taken after the game also showed Rashford limping onto the team bus.
It is a major scare for United, who travel to Wembley on Sunday to take on Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
Rashford is United’s top scorer this season, with a sensational 24 goals and nine assists in all competitions. No other United player has reached double figures, with Bruno Fernandes second on the charts with seven goals.
If Rashford is not available for the game, Erik ten Hag may have to attack Wout Weghorst as Anthony Martial is also out with injury.
