Ole Gunnar Solskjaer provides update on Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford as he continues to recover from his injury

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Everton (h/t United in Focus), Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that Marcus Rashford took part in a full training session as he recovers from his injury. 

The 23-year-old has not featured in a single game for the club after playing a pivotal role in last year’s campaign. The English international played over 50 games for the club last season and also played through injury at times. 

However, post the European Championship, Rashford underwent surgery on his shoulder, and it was estimated that it would take 12 weeks for him to recover. It now looks like the forward is set to make a return after the international break.

“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.

“Marcus is fit, he’s worked really hard, but he’s not had any contact [until now]. If his shoulder can take the contact now, he should be ready after the internationals.”

Rashford, personally, is said to be aiming to feature against Liverpool on the 24th of October in what could surely be an entertaining game at Old Trafford. 

However, the 23-year-old will have to earn his spot in the lineup, especially after Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Mason Greenwood have started the season.
