Man Utd suffer top four blow with Marcus Rashford a major doubt for must-win Bournemouth clash after training return

MARCUS RASHFORD is seemingly a doubt for Manchester United’s trip to Bournemouth.

The forward had been due to return for Saturday’s must-win trip to the south coast after missing last week’s win over Wolves with injury.

But boss Erik ten Hag revealed Rashford has fallen ill ahead of the game.

When giving a squad update, he said: “So a positive, [Raphael] Varane is definitely available.

“Scott [McTominay] joined in training. When we find how well he does in training, then we know if he will be in.

“Rashy trained well the whole week but today he reported that he is ill.

“We have to see how he recovers during the day and see tomorrow.”

Rashford sat out of the 2-0 win over Wolves last weekend with a leg injury before returning to training in the week.

United go into the game against Bournemouth knowing three points, and a Liverpool defeat to Aston Villa, would confirm a top-four finish.

And Ten Hag had been hoping to welcome Rashford back into the side for Saturday’s clash.

However, Ten Hag revealed it will be a game day decision as to whether Rashford is involved.

In positive news, Raphael Varane is fit after returning in the win over Wolves after a month on the sidelines.

Scott McTominay, who has been out since the middle of April, is also back in training.

The Red Devils are one point ahead of Liverpool in fourth, but have a game in hand on their Anfield rivals.
