There is a possibility Marcus Rashford will be rested when Manchester United meet Granada in the first leg of the quarterfinals Europa League. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer do not want to burden the 23-year-old attacker physically.
This season, Rashford is often trusted to appear to defend MU. 46 times down, 38 of them as starters. Even so, Rashford’s physical condition is also prone to injury.

The same thing happened when he was substituted midway through the second half with an injury against Brighton & Hove Albion (4 April). The condition that hit Rashford recently made Solskjaer cautious. In the remainder of this crucial season, he does not want his players to be forced to step aside due to serious injuries.
That’s why Solskjaer did not guarantee Rashford would appear from the start against Granada. Even if they appear, they won’t be up to 90 minutes.
“Marcus is leaving (for Granada) and we will make a decision whether he will play from the start or sit on the bench. I don’t think he will play 90 minutes, but we’ll see his condition tomorrow,” said Solskjaer, Wednesday (7/4 ), quoted by Sky Sports.
“Marcus joined training this morning, so just look at his reaction. If there is a risk of making his condition worse, then I will not drop him excessively. His back has recovered, he is an insistent person and wants to play. He wants to perform optimally for Manchester United,” he explained. the Norwegian manager is a problem Rashford.
Duel Granada vs Manchester United will be held at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes, Friday (9/4) at 02.00 WIB.
