Manchester United and England have received a huge boost with Marcus Rashford due to return for the final weeks of the season.
There were fears the 22-year-old striker would miss the rest of the campaign and Euro 2020 after suffering a double stress fracture in his back against Wolves in January - but latest scan results have offered a better outlook.
‘The scan came back quite positive,’ confirmed United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. ‘We cant rush it and it’ll probably be another couple of months before we see him but when he’s fit, he will be stronger for it.
‘He’s around the place, in the dressing-room before games, at half-time. He wants the boys to do well so he can come back and play in the Europa League, the FA Cup Final. He wants to be there when the business end comes.’
Solskjaer has done everything to keep Rashford as involved as possible during his lay-off and he remains a daily visitor to the training ground.
‘His life is Man United,’ added the manager. ‘He’s watching the academy boys, his nephew, he’s in and around the place. After training he goes and sees the under-18s.
‘That’s the family feel we want in this club as well and it’s important to have Marcus, one of the main contributors on the pitch this season, also contribute off the pitch.
