Warning as Rashford eyes return on Saturday

MANCHESTER United striker Marcus Rashford has warned Leicester City that he is ready to be back on the pitch for their Premier League clash on Saturday.

The England international, above, has been out of action having undergone successful surgery for a shoulder problem.

He scored twice in a behindclosed-doors friendly against Blackburn Rovers earlier this week as he upped his recovery and looked to get match fit one again.

Rashford gave an update to Man United’s club media after receiving his honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester at a ceremony on Thursday evening.

“It’s good now, I’m pretty much at the end now,” he said of his recovery from surgery.

“I feel ready to be back on the pitch. So yeah, I’m just looking forward to the next slot of games it’s a busy schedule.”

United sit fourth in the table with fourteen points from their opening seven games - six more points than next opponents Leicester.

“It’s the time when the squad’s important, we all have to be together and utilise everybody’s strengths,’ Rashford said.

“It’s just about picking up points. “When there’s this many games in a short space of time, you just wanna keep picking up three points and move on to the next game.”

Meanwhile, Rashford’s United teammate Dean Henderson has praised him for how he’s looked in training over the first week of the international break.

“You know what? It’s funny because he looks so sharp since he’s come back from his shoulder injury and everything from last season,” Henderson said. “I think he was carrying a few knocks.

“So for him to come back, he looks back to his best and I’m really excited to see him out there.

“I think he is going to help the team a lot.”
