What Erik ten Hag said when asked about Marcus Rashford's injury has got Manchester United fans talking.
Man United supporters hoped there would be no repeat of their 2023-24 injury crisis this term, but already four players have limped out of their pre-season games.
Rasmus Hojlund and new signing Leny Yoro were both withdrawn during United's defeat to Arsenal last week, and are set for extended periods on the sidelines.

Hojlund is expected to miss six weeks with a hamstring issue, while Yoro - who only completed his £52 million move from Lille last week - will miss around three months with a foot injury.
Things went from bad to worse on Wednesday when Marcus Rashford and Antony picked up issues during the second half of United's 3-2 win against Real Betis.
The 26-year-old drew United level with a first-half penalty, but was substituted just after the hour mark.
