Manchester United have not been in great form lately. And while the dramatic 2-1 win over Villarreal in the Champions League must have provided them with a huge boost, it remains to be seen if they can use it to bounce back in their upcoming games. They will face Everton next before the international break starts.
Despite their recent results though, they are still just one point off the top of the table. And with how tight the Premier League title race is expected to be this season, a run of good results and things can change very quickly.
There is some good news for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side when it comes to the injury front. Marcus Rashford, who recently underwent surgery on his shoulder, and has not featured this season, is now back in full training.
Solskjaer confirmed the news. As reported by Manchester United’s official website, the manager said:
"“Marcus trained fully for the first time today with contact. There were a few tackles flying in on him and he seemed okay, which was nice to see.”"
Manchester United would be handed a massive boost by Rashford’s return
Rashford has been a huge part of this Manchester United team for years now. So much so that it is very easy to forget that he is still just 23 years of age.
Rashford returning would be a massive boost for Solskjaer’s side and he would be expected to be a regular member of the first-team once again when he is back up to speed. We have seen several players feature on the left-side of Manchester United’s attack in his absence.
One thing that Rashford brings to the table is his eye for goal. He has been a consistent goalscorer ever since breaking into the first-team and his output has only increased over the years.
In recent weeks, we have seen the Red Devils have a few struggles in front of goal with Cristiano Ronaldo looking like the only consistent goalscorer right now. And if they are to challenge for titles this season, they will need a few more. Rashford could easily prove to be one of them.
