Marcus Rashford has alleviated fears that he suffered a serious injury in Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

The two Premier League heavyweights had to settle for a point each at Old Trafford as Mohamed Salah converted a penalty late in the second half after Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo cancelled out Luis Diaz's first-half opener to put Erik Ten Hag's side ahead.

There was cause for concern for United midway through the second half when Rashford, who returned to the starting XI after being named on the bench against Chelsea in midweek, was replaced by Antony after sustaining a knock that Ten Hag hoped would not be a serious one as he awaited the full diagnosis.

Speaking to MUTV about Rashford's injury, the Dutchman said: "I'm not sure, but I don't think it will be long term."

And now posting on Instagram on Monday afternoon, the 26-year-old England international eased fears that he could miss Manchester United's upcoming Premier League games and next weekend's FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City, replying, "I will be okay!" to one concerned fan who commented on his post.

Up next for Champions League-chasing United is a trip to Bournemouth on Saturday before facing Coventry at Wembley on April 21 for a place in next month's FA Cup final.
