Four Manchester United players told to ‘step up’ amid Marcus Rashford injury absence

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has named four Manchester United players who need to shoulder the goals responsibility with top scorer Marcus Rashford out injured.

The attacker is sidelined for the next few games and missed Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla after pulling up with a muscle problem in Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton.

Rashford has 28 goals this season, his most prolific season ever. United have been heavily reliant on his goals and Hargreaves shared his concern about the lack of scoring threat from others.

Whether it’s Antony, [Jadon] Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, or [Christian] Eriksen to come back in, but they need somebody to step up. “I just feel like when Marcus isn’t there, Varane or Lisandro Martinez, or Casemiro, replacements aren’t as strong as those options so it’s a huge month with all the fixtures.
