Manchester United star Marcus Rashford could reportedly miss the Red Devils’ Premier League clash with Bournemouth due to illness. Rashford, who has endured a difficult period at Old Trafford, might be unavailable to Erik ten Hag when United host the Cherries on Saturday afternoon.
The 26-year-old forward did not train with his United team-mates on Friday after falling ill. He has less than 24 hours to recover in time to be ready for selection against Bournemouth.
United face the south coast side at 3pm on Saturday having been buoyed by a midweek victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford. Rashford was brutally dropped to the substitutes’ for the bench after a dismal performance in the 1-0 defeat by Newcastle last Sunday.
Rashford was roundly criticised for his display against the Magpies and Ten Hag insisted he would speak to the England international about his poor form. The Dutchman subsequently only named the usual regular starter among his substitutes to face Chelsea.
Ten Hag was vindicated in his decision with his team going on to record an important triumph over Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
