“We can't really give him a break”: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Marcus Rashford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Marcus Rashford can’t be out of Sunday’s Liverpool clash because of Manchester United's limited attacking options. The 21-year-old has scored three times this season for the Red Devils side. The quit of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku, as well as Antony Martial’s absence,  has increased Rashford’s role ahead of Sunday’s clash against Liverpool. Though the England international looks physically and mentally fatigued, Solskjaer has stressed the importance of having the player in the squad. The United boss told Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville: “At the moment we can't really give him a break because we've had injuries. Anthony [Martial] has been out for eight weeks now. So he's had to play loads more football than I'd hoped. Marcus is a centre forward who can play left, right and as a No 10. He wants to be able to play all the positions. I want him to be facing the goal, I want to be direct and attacking quickly, so at the moment I see him coming in off the left or as part of a two upfront.” United face the worst season of the last 30 years, sitting on the 12th place of the Premier League table 15 points behind the leaders Liverpool.
