Last Thursday, the Manchester United beat Barcelona and advanced to the round of 16 of the Europa League. However, coach Erik ten Hag gained a concern during the victory: striker Marcus Rashford was replaced at the end of the duel. Thus, the Englishman is a doubt for the great final of the English League Cup against Newcastle, this Sunday.
“I still don’t know. We have to do more tests. Yesterday after the game we did some, but it was too early and we have to wait until we know for sure. We have to wait”, said the Dutch captain.

The 25-year-old player was substituted in the 43rd minute of the second half, after defender Ronald Araújo entered. If the center forward does not play in the final, it would be a major embezzlement for United. After the end of the World Cup, Rashford scored 16 goals, being the main highlight of the team in this good moment of the season.
Looking to lift their first trophy under Erik ten Hag, Manchester United face Newcastle in the English League Cup final. The ball will roll this Sunday at 1:30 pm (Brasília time) at Wembley Stadium. If he wins, this would be his sixth title in the competition. The last time the club won the tournament was in the 2016-17 season, against Southampton.
