Ibra was hooked off at half-time in the Boxing Day draw with Burnley and questions were raised when he was left out of the match-day squad to face the Saints.

Lukaku was taken off on a stretcher early on and needed oxygen after a clash of heads with Wesley Hoedt.

Marcus Rashford came on to replace Lukaku when the like-for-like replacement would've been Ibrahimovic.
