Manchester United fans are fearing the worst after Marcus Rashford came off injured.

The attacker, who helped his side to three points over Everton at Old Trafford with an assist, felt a pull in his leg late into the game. He came off injured and had to be replaced by Wout Weghorst.

Rashford has been Man Utd’s focal point in attack this season, netting a career-best of 28 goals in all competitions.

With Man Utd vying for a Champions League spot with Newcastle, they will be needing every bit of manpower to ensure that they make the top four this season. Man Utd scored through Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial to jump up to third sport in the Premier League.

As such, scenes of Rashford coming off had them fearing the worst.

If Marcus Rashford is injured then we will be forced to rely on Martial and icl that’s scary 😭

I’ll take them 3 points that was massive being the early kick off.

Bruno Fernandes was outstanding today as was Sancho.

Rashford’s injury is worrying hopefully it is not as bad as feared.

Really hope that Rashford injury isn't too bad. If it is we're so reliant on Martial staying fit

Paul Ince spoke about the need for more attackers

It comes after former Man Utd midfielder Paul Ince spoke about how the need for further attackers for the club in the upcoming transfer window.

"Every manager wants to do more in the window," Ince told Sportingpost.com. "Every manager wants to bring in more players. Sometimes it’s not doable, sometimes you can’t get the players you want in January because clubs aren’t letting them go. Maybe Weghorst was one of a few options for him given the ability to bring him in on loan.

"When you look at his time at Burnley he didn’t score a lot of goals and you look at his performances he isn’t an out-and-out goalscorer. He’s had many good chances where he could have scored and that tells me he’s not an out-and-out goalscorer, he’s not a Harry Kane or a Ronaldo, he’s not prolific.

"He comes short, he holds it up and links well with the midfield. That’s why it’s been so important that Rashford has been so good with his goals. If you take Marcus out the game like Newcastle did, then Manchester United struggle to score goals or create goals.

"If you look at last year the amount of goals Bruno Fernandes scored, this year there aren’t a lot of goal scorers in the team. Their reliance on Rashford is there to see and I’m sure Ten Hag will want others to contribute, such as Anthony, Sancho, Martial. I think it’s tough but as it’s going along Ten Hag is finding out where he wants to be, what needs to change, what doesn’t need to change."
