Rashford scores twice in Man Utd friendly vs Blackburn as he steps up recovery from injury

Marcus Rashford scored twice in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday as the Manchester United forward stepped up his recovery from injury.

The England international played and scored a brace in the friendly match against Blackburn Rovers held at United’s training base in what will be a boost for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Rashford has yet to play a part this season after undergoing shoulder surgery after the European Championship but has been stepping up his fitness in recent weeks and returned to contact training before United’s game against Everton.

When might Rashford be available to play?

United visit Leicester in their first game back after the international break on October 16 and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already earmarked that as a potential return for Rashford.
