Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no worries about Marcus Rashford's fitness.

The Englishman has struggled with injury lately and limped off the field after 80 minutes in the 3-1 win over Burnley on Sunday.

Asked about Rashford's fitness, Solskjaer replied: "I asked him how he was because he played so well.

"And I think because he played so well and he felt good out there, he was trying to force a 90-minute out of him. But he said that he was too sore.

"So it's just pain that comes after he's played for 60-70 minutes. He lasted for 80 almost today, so that was progress.

"I thought in the second half he played so well. He made some great runs first half as well but we couldn't find him.

"But in the end Donny had to come on for him and Donny did well, so I was pleased with that one."
