LVG plays down injury fear of Manchester United star duo

Manchester United registered a 1-0 narrow win over Manchester City during the derby clash at the Etihad on Sunday. The Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed star duo of Marcus Rashford and Matteo Darmian came down with cramps, which was the reason for their struggle on the pitch.

The Italian international was the third and final substitution for United as he was replaced by Timothy Fosu-Mensah. The full-back was complaining about the cramp, which led to his withdrawal from the pitch.

After that, even Rashford was also struggling on the field. Despite that, the young striker played the entire match as the Old Trafford club had completed all their substitutions.
