Solskjaer hits back after criticism over Rashford injury

AFP, Manchester :
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has strongly defended himself against claims he put himself first with his ill-fated decision to play Marcus Rashford against Wolves in the FA Cup.
The United and England striker could be out for three months after suffering a back injury in last week’s third-round match, which United won 1-0.
Former England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright said this week that Solskjaer, under intense pressure to improve the club’s fortunes, prioritised his own needs over those of his player.
United are in fifth place in the Premier League, five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the race for the Champions League qualification spots.
But the Norwegian boss insisted that Rashford was fit enough to play in the 1-0 win for United, in which the 22-year-old substitute lasted just 16 minutes.
