Manchester United are swearing on Marcus Rashford's fitness ahead of the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie with Sevilla.

The in-form forward hobbled off with a groin problem during the closing stages of last weekend's Premier League win over Everton and manager Erik ten Hag will be eager to have him available for the business end of the season.

Rashford has hit 27 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions this term and his potential absence is a blow to United's hopes of more silverware.

Ten Hag has other injury concerns too, as Luke Shaw missed the Toffees win and is unlikely to return for Sevilla's visit to Old Trafford, while Alejandro Garnacho and Donny van de Beek remain long-term absentees.

Sevilla loanee Alex Telles is eligible to face his parent club and the Spanish club boast a number of recognisable names in their squad including Erik Lamela, Jesus Navas and Ivan Rakitic.

Man Utd v Sevilla prediction

Manchester United are winless in three meetings with Sevilla, but Erik ten Hag has restored Old Trafford to fortress status so the Red Devils are fancied to build an advantage ahead of the second leg in Spain.

While Marcus Rashford has been United's chief source of goals this term, the likes of Anthony Martial and Bruno Fernandes are capable of chipping in, while Scott McTominay is in decent scoring form.

Sevilla are enduring a challenging campaign and squeezed through ties with PSV and Fenerbahce since dropping down from the Champions League.

The Spanish side have been travel sick all campaign in Europe and La Liga, which means it could be a case of avoiding a hefty defeat at all costs to keep the tie alive.
