"I hope he can tomorrow make the next training" - Ten Hag provides Marcus Rashford fitness update ahead of Manchester United v Arsenal

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has provided an update about Marcus Rashford's fitness ahead of their clash against Arsenal in the Premier League. The forward trained alongside his teammates ahead of the clash, which shows that he is nearing full fitness.

Rashford notably missed their last three games, including a 1-1 draw against Burnley and a 0-4 drubbing in the hands of Crystal Palace. The Red Devils could potentially end the season without making it into any European competitions next season, as they sit in eighth. However, Rashford will be hoping to help his boyhood club win their remaining games.

The forward looks set to play for Arsenal, as manager Erik ten Hag revealed (via Manchester Evening News):

“Rashy [Marcus Rashford], of course, he trained this morning as well, and we have to see how he recovered from this. But I think it looks quite good and I hope he can tomorrow make the next training and then see if he is available for Sunday."

Marcus Rashford has struggled to find the net as consistently after a season where he scored an impressive 30 goals in all competitions. He will be hoping for an upturn in form when he potentially returns to the starting lineup against the Gunners.
