Liverpool possesses a 14-point lead at the top of the table with a game in hand. Manchester United on the other side place in fifth and are five points exterior the top four which highlights the harbor in class between the two sides.

With that being the case the last thing Manchester United needed was an injury to a key player such as Rashford leading into the game.

Rashford sustained a back injury during his side's FA Cup third-round replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday night.

However, The Daily Mirror has stated that Rashford is prepared to play through the pain against Liverpool.

Regardless of whether Rashford plays or not Liverpool is by far the better side. It is important to remember that the Reds have only dropped points in one Premier League fixture this season.

Yes, it was against Man Utd at Old Trafford back in October but the Reds did have a bit of an off game that particular day.

They should claim a victory come Sunday regardless of Rashford’s availability. The England international has counted 22 goals for club and state this season.

Solskjaer about Rashford

Solskjaer, whose side play away at Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, said Rashford could not run.

He will be tested in the next few days we have to see for Sunday, added the Norwegian.

I did not want to play him. I think he got a knock, a knee, or something, in his back, but he is been struggling for a little while.

That is why we have kept him away from starting against Wolves, but we needed the win.

Asked if the conclusion to play Rashford miscarried, Solskjaer replied: "He was involved in the objective, so that was an optimistic, but it miscarried.

"He is a rapid therapist and he will play through some pain, absolutely, if he is skilled and it is not immoral bad damage, but we have understood that he is thrashed lately."

But that is been more when he is been tired. He was not on long enough to be tired so it might be something that just happened there and then.

He is been completely top this season so we will do whatever and everything we can to get him right for Sunday. If he is not, then we will perform devoid of him.

Rashford has featured in 13 matches starting 11 of them since the beginning of December, scoring nine goals in that period.

Man Utd will now play either Watford or League One side Tranmere away from home in the fourth round of the FA Cup on 26 January.

Solskjaer's squad is also in fifth place in the Premier League, in the last 32 of the Europa League and trajectory Manchester City 3-1 after the inaugural leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

He is been like a one-man team

Previous Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher recommended an injury to Rashford would be an alarm because of how energetic he is to the team.

The statistic he has played 200 games previously at such an early age, he is so significant, Fletcher said.

They are mainly becoming dependent on him. Marcus Rashford carries a weight in terms of lashing team up the pitch, getting shots getting objectives, getting promotions. He has practically been like a one-man team.

The Times main football writer Henry Winter says clubs need to be cautious not to lash the players too much by playing them in too countless playoffs.

It is exciting snooping to ex-professionals saying he is not fairly running as easily as they would imagine and is holding somewhat back, winter said.

I understand why Man Utd has to play him and I understand his mentality; he loves this club, plays for the shirt.

He is Manchester United's most important player but at some stage, we have to take a step back and say: Let's not flog these players too much.

It is not an England thing; this is about making sure he is ready for Man Utd over the next few years and not burning him out too often.
