Premier League
London – Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag predicted the readiness of striker Marcus Rashford to face Chelsea tomorrow, Thursday, in the English Premier League, but admitted that he was not sure of the physical readiness of the team’s top scorer.
And the British news agency (BA Media) reported that Rashford missed the last two matches for Manchester United, as he missed the first due to a foot injury and the second due to illness, but he returned to team training this week.
When asked about the readiness of the striker, who scored 29 goals this season, Ten Hag said: “It seems like that. Yesterday he returned to training. He seems to be in good shape, but we need to see today what will happen after training, how he will recover, and after that we will make our decisions.”
Rashford’s absence from the Wolverhampton and Bournemouth matches (which Manchester United won without him) highlighted the team’s lack of offensive solutions in depth.
Anthony Martial got the opportunity to start, a rare opportunity against Bournemouth last Sunday, but he came off the match after an hour before returning to the bench.
Ten Hag also ignored a question about speculation about the club’s association with the inclusion of Paris Saint-Germain striker and Brazil star Neymar, as he replied, “When we have news, I will tell you.”
Manchester United will secure fourth place and a return to the Champions League next season, if it gets at least a point from facing coach Frank Lampard’s team.
