Solskjaer did not feature his number one striker, Marcus Rashford against Jurgen Klopp’s men due to injury.

Rashford will be out of action for Solskjaer’s men at least six weeks, after sustaining a double stress fracture in his back during United’s 1-0 victory against Wolves in the FA Cup some days ago.

“We’ve had many injuries for big players this season,” Solskjaer told BBC Sports after the game.

“It’s just an unfortunate situation we’re in. We might look at some short-term deals as well that could take us through to the summer.

“We don’t desperately need a striker. If the right one is there and it fits for us (but) we’ve got players who are champing at the bit.”
