Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are out of Monday's FA Cup visit to Chelsea

Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford out of FA Cup visit Monday to Chelsea through injury as Manchester United face a striker crisis ahead of the tie-quarter final.

Jose Mourinho must do without in-form Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who begins his three-match suspension after receiving an FA violent conduct charge following his clash with Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings last weekend.

Rooney, who was not part of the United squad for the midweek Europa League draw against FC Rostov in Russia, is believed to have been involved in an accidental training ground collision with defender Phil Jones.

Martial will also miss the match with Chelsea through injury, and graduate center Marcus Rashford, who has three goals in two FA Cup appearances this season, is absent through illness.
That leaves United without a recognized striker adult to visit Stamford Bridge, which could lead to a berth starting for Marouane Fellaini, who used on several occasions by the former boss Louis van Gaal.

Runaway Premier League leaders Chelsea recent good record against United and unbeaten in their last 11 meetings Red Devils, losing in the end to them 3-2 in October 2012.
