Marcus Rashford was not seen arriving with Manchester United's injured players at the club's Carrington training base on Wednesday morning to improve hopes of his involvement in the game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The forward hobbled through United's goalless draw against Liverpool on Sunday after picking up an ankle injury early on at Old Trafford.

United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was unable to substitute the 21-year-old after first-half hamstring injuries to Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Mata's replacement, Jesse Lingard, saw the trio withdrawn before half-time.

The set-backs contributed to a growing injury crisis at Old Trafford, with Solskjaer unable to call on up to nine first-team players for the game against Crystal Palace.

Nemanja Matic, Anthony Martial, Phil Jones, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia make up United's crowded treatment room, with Solskjaer likely to call up youngsters Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong and James Garner to the first team squad for the trip to Selhurst Park.

Rashford has scored six goals in 13 games under Solskjaer's tutelage and was named the Premier League's player of the month for January.

The England international's form has seen him replace Romelu Lukaku as United's first-choice striker, and Solskjaer said on Tuesday that the club's medical team were doing everything in their power to ensure Rashford's availability for the trip to Crystal Palace.

"As for Rashy [Marcus Rashford], we're going to work on him for as long as we can to see if he gets ready," he said.

"Because that wasn't as bad as we first feared, so luckily I don't think we damaged it any more by him finishing the game [against Liverpool].

"He might have a chance of playing. Then again I don't think there'll be anyone else coming back for this game. So there'll be a chance for the kids."

Lingard, Herrera, Mata and Darmian were photographed arriving at United's AON Training Complex on Wednesday morning, while Martial was seen entering via a different entrance.
