Marcus Rashford has made a return to training as he continues his recovery from a shoulder surgery.
The Manchester United forward has been ruled out of the first few weeks of the 2021/22 season.
It’s expected it will take 12 weeks for Rashford to recover from the operation that took place in early August.
The England star is therefore expected to be back in action in October or early November but has already returned to light training.
But seeing him jog around the Red Devils’ training ground at Carrington will give hope to fans that he’ll be back sooner than expected.
He’s missed Man United’s opening two league matches, which has seen them thrash Leeds and draw at Southampton.
In Rashford’s absence, Anthony Martial started the St Mary’s clash but it somewhat passed him by as United failed to find the winner after Mason Greenwood cancelled out Saints’ opener.
talkSPORT’s Jamie O’Hara was very critical of Martial, accusing the Frenchman of ‘playing like he doesn’t care’.
“I thought Manchester United were actually really poor,” the former Tottenham midfielder said on talkSPORT Breakfast.
“They were so sloppy in possession. In the final third, when they got in key areas, they just didn’t make the right pass.
“Paul Pogba, I thought, was fantastic. He ran the show. He was an absolute class act.
“But Martial was shocking, it was a really bad performance from him. He just plays like he’s not bothered whether he plays well or not. It’s a weird attitude to have.
“When I used to go on a football pitch, I was just obsessed with trying to be the best player out there. Martial just plays like he doesn’t care whether he’s good or not. It’s just it’s weird how he plays because he’s got so much talent.
“But it’s not good enough, he’s miles off it when you compare him and Lukaku, they’re just worlds apart.
“I was disappointed in Manchester United. If you want to be title challengers and think you’re going to win the league, you got to go and beat Southampton.”
