The latest updates on the injuries of Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay have been issued as Manchester United head into preparations for Bournemouth.

Manchester United have failed to win their last three fixtures, all in the Premier League, most recently coming off a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Erik ten Hag‘s squad is starting to become injury-stricken again, with Marcus Rashford having to be forced off through a problem in the second half, being replaced by Antony in the 66th minute.

Fortunately, Ten Hag feels that Rashford’s problem will not be a long-term issue.

“I’m not sure, but I don’t think it will be long-term,” he told MUTV when asked about Rashford’s current state. A more accurate assessment will be made in the coming days.

However, there has been less fortunate news regarding Scott McTominay, who missed the tie completely with a knee injury.

McTominay played played 25 minutes (including 10 of extra time) against Chelsea last week, and has reportedly suffered a hyperextension in his knee.

This is according to the reliable X account INSIDERUTD1, who explains that this is the reason McTominay was not involved in the squad to face the team who he scored against just three weeks ago in the FA Cup.

It is further explained that early reports say it’s not a serious issue and that he could be out for 2-3 weeks – although this will depend on his rehabilitation.

United face Bournemouth at 17:30 BST on Saturday, 13 April, in their next game. It will kick off at the Vitality Stadium.
