Marcus Rashford Injury: When the season began, it seemed as though Ronaldo would be the hero at Old Trafford this season. It hasn’t panned out quite that way though as Ronaldo left in the winter window after a horror 6 months at the club. Marcus Rashford, though, found his best form and was bagging goals left, right, and center. He has become a very lethal part of this United team. However, Rashford picked up a knock in their FA Cup win over Fulham. Now, he is racing against time to be fit for United’s game against Newcastle.

The in-form Red Devils striker had to pull out of the England squad for their Euros double header against Italy and Ukraine. Marcus has already returned to light training at the start of the week and has gradually been upping his work at the gym, so he can get back out on the playing field quickly enough.

The importance of this game cannot be understated as both Manchester United and Newcastle United are in a battle for the top four. If the Magpies win this game, then they can leapfrog Erik ten Hag’s side on goal difference. It is tight at the top in the battle for the last two Champions League places behind Arsenal and Manchester City.

There are six teams within 8 points of each other in the race for the top four. Rashford’s availability is key with a heavy reliance on him for the goals. Rashford has found the back of the net 14 times in the League and Bruno Fernandes is in second place with just five goals to his name.
Marcus has been in a rich vein of form this season. Since Ronaldo left, MUFC needed a strong presence up front and Rashford has been their man for all occasions. He has scored 27 goals in 44 appearances this season and it doesn’t seem like he will stop anytime soon.

Out of these 27 goals, 19 have come in 24 games since returning from the World Cup in Qatar where he played in five games for England, starting one. Speculations were being made when Rashford was in New York after pulling out of the Three Lions squad. Gareth Southgate, the manager, justified the player by saying that it was his choice how to spend his time after he was deemed unfit to join the team.
