Carrick confirms injury concern for Man United attacker after 2-2 draw against Everton

Manchester United have been handed a fresh injury concern after Marcus Rashford was forced off during Sunday’s 2-2 Premier League draw against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Rashford lasted 70 minutes before being replaced, and Michael Carrick later confirmed that the decision was linked to a physical issue rather than a tactical change.

The news will be a concern for United given Rashford’s importance to their attack and the already demanding early-season schedule.

Michael Carrick confirms Rashford felt an injury problem

Speaking after the match, Carrick was asked directly whether Rashford’s substitution had been injury-related.

He said: “Yeah, he was feeling a bit of something.”

United have yet to confirm the exact nature or severity of the problem, so it remains unclear whether Rashford will miss any upcoming fixtures.

The timing is unfortunate because the 28-year-old had looked lively against Everton and remains one of Carrick’s most dangerous attacking options, particularly from the left side.

Manchester Evening News reports that Rashford will now be assessed by United’s medical staff before a decision is made over his availability for the next match.

United had to settle for a point despite producing several promising attacking moments, and losing Rashford for any significant period would further complicate Carrick’s plans.
