Breaking news: Ralf Rangnick names 2 Manchester United stars likely to miss game against Brighton
Manchester United interim boss Ralf
Rangnick has stated that Marcus Rashford
and Eric Bailly could miss the club's
match against Brighton and Hove Albion
. The Red Devils will travel to the
American Express Community Stadium
to take on the Seagulls in the Premier
League on Saturday (7 May).

At his pre-match press Ragnick
was asked for injury updates ahead of
the match against Brighton. He stated
that Rashford will be unavailable due to
bronchitis while Bailly recently approached
the team doctor with back problems and
could miss out.
Rangnick said (as quoted by Manchester
Evening News):
"Marcus Rashford will be missing
, he has got bronchitis with a high
temperature, so he won't be able to
be part of the group and we have
a question mark behind Eric
Bailly, he called the doctor this
morning and had some back
problems and he is being checked
right now. We will have to see if
he will be able to train afterwards."
There was some positive news for Manchester
United, though, as club captain Harry
Maguire and forward Edinson Cavani could
play a part in their next game. Maguire
missed the club's previous match against
Brentford due to a knee injury, while
Cavani could only make an appearance
off the bench. Rangnick said:
"Harry is back in training.
He trained the whole week since
the second day after the Brentford
game, so he will be available for
tomorrow and is part of the
group. Edinson is in training,
obviously, he came on as a
substitute."
Luke Shaw will also miss out on United's
visit to Brighton. The left-back hasn't
featured since 2 April due to problems
with the leg on which he underwent
surgery back in 2015 after a fracture.
As per Manchester Evening News, Shaw
is unlikely to feature again this season.
How have Eric Bailly and Marcus
Rashford fared for Manchester
United this season?
Manchester United aren't likely to suffer
too much from the absence of Bailly and
Rashford against Brighton. While the
former has hardly played for the club,
the latter has endured a largely forgettable
season.
Bailly has made just seven appearances
across all competitions for the Red Devils
this term. He last played for the team
during a 3-1 win over Burnley back in
December 2021.
Rashford, meanwhile, has racked up
32 appearances this season. He has scored
just five times and assisted two goals in
what has been a disappointing campaign.
The Englishman hasn't found the back
of the net since January and has started
just 13 matches in the Premier League
this season.
