Rashford trickery not enough

Manchester United 1 Swansea 1: As Jose Mourinho surveyed the wreckage of yet another home league draw, he was hard pressed to know where to start trying to resurrect a season that is in danger of spiralling out of control.

Yet more injuries — this time to Luke Shaw and Eric Bailly — leaves United facing Thursday’s Europa League semi-final first leg at Celta Vigo without seven front-line first team players, four of them central defenders.

Just as damaging, the loss of two more points severely harms United’s hopes of a top four finish and a guaranteed place in next season’s Champions League.
