Ten Hag breaks silence on Marcus Rashford ahead of Chelsea’s Fixture.

Manchester United Receives Timely Boost as Marcus Rashford Nears Return

Manchester United’s hopes for their upcoming Premier League showdown against Chelsea have been lifted significantly with the imminent return of Marcus Rashford to action.

Rashford was absent from last Saturday’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bournemouth due to illness, a fact confirmed by manager Erik ten Hag on the eve of the match. Prior to that, he had missed the previous weekend’s 2-0 triumph against Wolves due to a leg injury, but had managed to recover in time to face Bournemouth.

Addressing the media in anticipation of the clash, Ten Hag stated, “Rashy trained well throughout the week, but today he reported that he is ill. We have to monitor his recovery throughout the day and assess him tomorrow.” Now, with Rashford’s potential return, Manchester United could receive a significant boost.

Rashford Boosts Manchester United’s Prospects

Notably, Rashford has been spotted training at Carrington ahead of the crucial Premier League encounter on Thursday against Chelsea. The 25-year-old has been actively involved in training sessions with the rest of the squad, indicating the possibility of his inclusion in United’s starting lineup if deemed fit by the club’s medical staff.

Securing a point against Chelsea would guarantee Manchester United a spot in the Champions League next season, with a game to spare. This accomplishment would complement their earlier triumph in the Carabao Cup this campaign.

If United does manage to secure their place at Europe’s top table for the following season, it would undoubtedly mark a successful debut season for manager Erik ten Hag. Rashford’s crucial contributions would certainly have played a significant role in their achievement.

With 16 goals in 33 Premier League appearances, Rashford has been a key figure in United’s attacking prowess. Most notably, he showcased his goal-scoring prowess during the World Cup, where he netted three times in five games, outscoring all other tournament participants.

Rashford’s potential to reach the 30-goal mark in all competitions remains within reach, as he currently stands at 29 strikes. Having recuperated from a leg injury that prevented him from participating in Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Wolves, Rashford has been captured on film at Carrington training center, sporting a radiant smile while engaging in a lighthearted game of foot-tennis with his teammates.

This news will undoubtedly provide a significant boost to the club’s supporters, who have heavily relied on the England international for goals throughout the season. Rashford has undeniably enjoyed his most prolific scoring season with the club, finding the back of the net on 29 occasions in all competitions.
