Manchester United handed Marcus Rashford injury scare in Europa League match against Porto

Manchester United have been during their Europa League face-off against Porto on Thursday night.

Rashford, who was one of the standout performers for was taken off at half-time in Portugal. The England ace got the scoring underway just seven minutes into the game, cutting in from the left to beat Diogo Costa at his near post.

Throughout the first half, Rashford continued to pose a threat, constantly testing Joao Mario on the left flank. Before the interval, Lisandro Martinez went down with a knock, sparking concerns that he might need to be replaced.

However, when Alejandro Garnacho was readied to come on at the start of the second half, it became apparent that it wasn't the defender who was nursing an injury concern. Rashford didn't seem to be injured before the break, so Erik ten Hag will be hoping it's nothing serious.

If Rashford has sustained an injury, it would be the icing on the cake of what has been a disappointing night in Portugal for the Reds. United were two goals up within 20 minutes, with Rasmus Hojlund adding a second after Rashford's opener.

But the Reds then fell apart. Pepe quickly pulled one back before Samu Omorodion outjumped Matthijs de Ligt to equalise before half-time.

Five minutes into the second half and United found themselves trailing as Omorodion netted his second of the match, catching the backline off guard. United's misery was compounded when Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second game running late on.

United returns to Premier League action against Aston Villa this weekend with the pressure ramping up on Erik ten Hag.
