After suffering an injury in the Manchester derby, the Red Devils have received a positive update on Marcus Rashford.
Marcus Rashford is expected to be back on the pitch soon enough, with his ankle injury against Manchester City not as serious as feared.
It appears the forward did not suffer ankle ligament damage during Sunday’s win at Manchester City.
Rashford hurt himself in the second half of the 2-0 victory and had to be taken off.
The 23-year-old immediately signaled he was in pain and had to take his boot off as he walked slowly around the pitch after being replaced by Mason Greenwood.
He remains a doubt for Thursday’s Europa League game with AC Milan.
The positive for United though is that Rashford won’t be out in the long-term. This was confirmed in an update by The Telegraph.
As per the report, it is understood there is still swelling and bruising around the ankle and the forward has not been able to put any significant weight on it.
However, a scan has revealed there is no ligament damage.
Rashford has played in all 43 games for United this season, scoring 18 goals.
Fellow striker Edinson Cavani missed yesterday’s game completely through injury and it remains uncertain whether he will return in time to face AC Milan.
