Marcus Rashford has been affected by norovirus, but he remains hopeful to play against Liverpool.

 


Marcus Rashford has been dealing with norovirus this week, but he remains hopeful about being fit to play for Manchester United in the match against Liverpool on Sunday.

The 26-year-old missed the crucial Champions League match against Bayern Munich last week due to illness. The Daily Mail reported that Rashford has been dealing with norovirus, commonly known as the winter vomiting bug. Those familiar with norovirus can attest to the challenging days it brings, making it an unpleasant week for Rashford.

On Friday, he resumed training, and manager Erik ten Hag anticipates his availability for the upcoming visit to Liverpool. However, this hinges on Rashford experiencing no adverse effects from the training session.


The report affirms that the medical staff at Manchester United were confident Rashford wasn't infectious before permitting his return to training.


At a press conference on Friday, Ten Hag mentioned that Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial will be sidelined for the upcoming clash with Liverpool due to injury. However, he anticipates the availability of Rashford and Luke Shaw.


According to the Dutchman, 'Harry will not be available for the coming games, but we don’t think it’s long term.







This morning, Luke Shaw participated in training, suggesting he'll likely be available for Sunday. Marcus Rashford is set to return, while Martial won't be. Maguire is managing a groin issue from the Bayern Munich match, potentially leaving Evans and Varane at center-back or Shaw in defense with Dalot and Wan-Bissaka. Lisandro Martinez remains sidelined.

your Ajax Ideas are not up to United standards,Gordon Hill blast Erik ten Hag After Bournemouth defeat.

  Gordon Hill, ex-Manchester United winger, strongly criticizes Erik ten Hag following the disappointing performance against Bournemouth. On Saturday in the Premier League, Manchester United experienced a subpar performance, arguably their worst of the season, resulting in a 0-3 defeat to Bournemouth on their home turf. Just days following an admirable performance against Chelsea midweek, Manchester United's abject display in a 0-3 loss to Bournemouth raises concerns. The recurring pattern of taking two steps back after one forward step prompts renewed scrutiny on Erik ten Hag's managerial position. Despite leading the team for one-and-a-half seasons, the lack of progress at Old Trafford is evident. Notably, this season has been marked by a noticeable absence of a defined playing style under ETH, contrasting with the previous season's successful pattern that led to a third-place finish in the Premier League and Carabao Cup victory.
