Rashford, who equalised for the hosts in the first half, signalled to the bench to come off midway through the second period and was replaced by Paul Pogba.

Solskjaer said after the contest: “It’s just niggling him that shoulder injury.

“Hopefully he will be ready for West Ham, but we don’t know.”

His absence could leave United short of options in attack.

Edinson Cavani is facing a three-game ban for a derogatory social media post although the FA have yet to make a decision.

Rashford’s shoulder has been an ongoing problem this season.

He was forced to pull out of a doubleheader of England fixtures after initially injuring his shoulder against Everton on November 7.

And in April 2019 he endured a similar injury against Chelsea that left him sidelined.

Solskjaer is already missing Luke Shaw and Phil Jones who occupy the treatment table.

Jones is out for the long haul with a knee issue while Shaw is recovering from a thigh injury and hopes to return before Christmas.
