Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said the decision to bring on Marcus Rashford in the team's 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday "backfired."

The Red Devils were winners in the FA Cup third-round replay over Wolves, with Juan Mata's second-half goal separating the teams in a tight contest.

Rashford started the match on the bench but was introduced into the game with United struggling for an attacking spark. However, the forward picked up a back problem during his 16 minutes on the field and had to be replaced by Jesse Lingard.
