Why Marcus Rashford has been recalled to Manchester United squad

The forward could make his first league appearance since early December after being left out of United’s last four matches

Marcus Rashford has been brought back into the Manchester United squad by manager Ruben Amorim ahead of Monday’s Premier League clash with Newcastle.

The forward could make his first league appearance since early December after being left out of United’s last four matches.

Rashford’s inclusion was hinted at when the club released images of him arriving with the squad, dressed in his club tracksuit and carrying his boot bag.

United are dealing with a string of absences, which may have prompted Rashford’s recall.

Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are both suspended, while Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and Victor Lindelöf are sidelined with injuries.

Rashford’s future at Old Trafford has been the subject of intense speculation since Amorim took charge.

The Portuguese manager’s decision to omit the forward from recent squads sparked rumors of unrest, which were amplified by Rashford’s recent interview declaring he is “ready for a new challenge.”

Monday’s clash with Newcastle will mark United’s final game of 2024 and their last fixture before the January transfer window opens.

Rashford has made 15 Premier League appearances this season, contributing four goals and one assist.

United, currently on a three-game losing streak, will be looking to end the year on a high.

Following the Newcastle match, they face a daunting trip to league leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

Fans will be eager to see if Rashford can play a part in turning the team’s fortunes around.
