Manchester United are facing the prospect of playing their FA Cup quarter final against Leicester City without forwards Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said.

While Rashford was replaced at halftime on Thursday after he felt a “little twinge” during their Europa League victory over AC Milan, Martial and Cavani were not in the line-up.

Martial is recovering from a knock to his hip. Solskjaer said Rashford was “most unlikely” to recover for Sunday’s trip while Cavani’s participation would depend on the Uruguayan’s progress.

“Edinson has worked really hard and joined in training sessions. Towards the end he needs to top it up to feel 100% ready for the game and hasn’t really got there yet,” Solskjaer told reporters.

“It’s down to him, he doesn’t want to come in and look off the pace. Hopefully he can be ready for Sunday but I’m not sure.”

In last four

Southampton’s Nathan Redmond scored twice and fellow winger Moussa Djenepo bagged another in a 3-0 win over south-coast rivals Bournemouth on Saturday to secure a place in the semi-finals for only the second time in 18 seasons.
