Ole just said he is fully fit and will play next game.
The Phil Jones comment was tongue in cheek but yes I'd take a chance on a nameless individual from the youth over Rashford if Greenwood and Martial are unavailable.

Like I said, anybody. Greenwood, somebody from the youth set up. I'd play Jones up top over him at this point.
He plays up front for a team that creates no chances. I wouldn't say it has been a phenomenal opportunity up to now.
feck him. No heart. He's stopped running which is his best quality.
That would be a bad decision considering none of the strikers in our youth teams are anywhere near as good as him. Why would you actively want to play a worse player and make things worse?
The only player we have to replace him is Greenwood.
As much as I like Greenwood, he's 17. We shouldn't be relying on him at this stage so, unfortunately, we're having to play Marcus through injury and poor form.
I don't know how Ole/whoever thought not bringing in another attacker after letting both Lukaku and Alexis go was a good idea. I could see this problem coming from a mile away.
Thats what's annoying; It's all self-inflicted....
This.Dropped for who?
Getting 250k a week (rising to 350k) at that age could do that to you.
Who says they are worse? Rashford wouldn't look out of place in league 2 or our youth team currently so there's no way to say our youth strikers are any worse based on current form.
Drop him on his arse for a couple of games. See if he wants to play football again.
Already thought of that, who plays in his place? 17 year old Greenwood? Lingard false 9? Me?
Apologies, I would not have dragged this out had I known you weren't being serious.
Carry on.
Rashford has been utterly diabolical lately. How the manager doesn’t see it is impossible to explain.
Half of the forum members would score that before rashford.
