Manchester United’s season has been a roller-coaster ride and they face a big blow ahead of the Fulham trip. Marcus Rashford has been ruled out of their Premier League game this weekend. He was also not part of Man United’s EFL Cuo tie in midweek. The way Man United are playing, it’s a huge blow and the recovery of this player is important.
As per the journalist Samuel Luckhurst, the Englishman failed in the late fitness test. He travelled down to London despite suffering a “heavy knock to the leg” in training. He was also not added to the starting XI or even on the bench. Erik ten Hag is already dealing with the injuries.
Man United misses Casemiro, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia. Marcus Rashford joins this list to add more problems for the Red Devils. Apart from this news, there is good news in the defence area Raphael Varane gained match fitness and he has been named among the substitutes. The Former Real Madrid man missed out previous EFL Cup clash due to illness.
Recently, the 26-year-old celebrated his birthday last week and he was criticised for his late-night part following the defeat against Man City. Erik ten Hag called it unacceptable and talked to him. Later, Rashford apologised for this. “Yes, I am aware of it, I spoke with him about it,” said the Man United boss in his press conference on Friday. “It’s unacceptable. I told him. He apologised. And that’s it. For the rest it’s an internal matter.”
Marcus Rahsford’s injury is not so serious and Man United would expect him to recover soon. Champions League fixtures are lined up and Erik ten Hag would need him in the attack. The Red Devils boss is looking forward to seeing the Englishman back in action for the Champions League game with FC Copenhagen in Denmark.
