Why is Marcus Rashford not playing for Man Utd against Sheffield United tonight?

MANCHESTER UNITED will be hoping to build on their FA Cup semi-final win with three points against Sheffield United – but Marcus Rashford is unavailable.

The Red Devils avoided a shock defeat on Sunday by beating penalty Championship outfit Coventry via penalties after surrendering a three-goal lead.

And while SunSport’s Neil Custis labelled the win as an embarrassment, Erik ten Hag believed that his team deserved to book their place in the final.

However, United’s attention now returns to their chase for a top-four spot and they’ll be expected to secure a victory against bottom-placed Blades.

But the English giants will have to do it without Marcus Rashford who hasn’t even made the bench tonight.

Rashford was hooked off the Wembley turf on Sunday after 97 minutes with a suspected injury.

And the England international was later seen limping as he walked through the mixed zone after the game.

Now United will be without the star altogether as they face the Blades with a growing injury list.

Mega money £85m signing Antony is instead starting for Erik ten Hag’s side – just days after being ridiculed for mocking Coventry players following United’s penalty win.

The Brazilian is yet to score a single league goal in his 25 appearances this season.
