United released a statement on their official website confirming that Rashford had suffered an ankle problem in the derby against Manchester City and will be reassessed ahead of the European game.

“The visit of a European superpower is one that will be sorely missed by the fans, who cannot attend the tie due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions,” the club wrote on their official website.

“And it will present another stern challenge for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men following the elimination of Real Sociedad in the previous round.

“Marcus Rashford suffered an ankle injury during the Manchester derby and we await an update from the manager on the extent of the England international's problem when he is on media duties on Wednesday afternoon.

“Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani were all high-profile absentees at the Etihad Stadium, while Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial only played after passing late fitness tests. Juan Mata and Phil Jones have both also been on the injured list.

“Dean Henderson is to continue in goal, after playing in both legs against Real Sociedad and the Premier League clashes with Crystal Palace and City, keeping clean sheets in each of them.
