Manchester United get major triple injury boost ahead of Bournemouth fixture

Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay returned to Manchester United training ahead of Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.

Rashford missed the win over Wolves at the weekend but was back out on the Carrington training pitches on Wednesday, while McTominay is a longer-term absentee having not figured for United since April 8.

Raphael Varane, who was replaced by Harry Maguire as a precaution late on against Wolves, was part of the training group. Meanwhile, youngsters Omari Forson and Daniel Gore also took part in the first-team session.

The returns of Rashford and McTominay mean Marcel Sabitzer, Lisandro Martinez and Donny van de Beek are the only remaining injured players in United's first-team squad. All three will miss the remainder of the campaign.

Ten Hag will likely give an update on whether Rashford and McTominay will be ready to face Bournemouth in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

Ahead of the win over Wolves, Ten Hag said of Rashford: "I can't tell [what the latest is] in this moment. He is not available. So for this moment, we have to focus on the team who is available. We have a good team and it's a good squad.

"I can't tell at this moment [how long Rashford will be out for] and as I say, it's not my focus point at this moment. I hope [he will be back soon]. Of course and he will do everything that can be done. The medical staff is working hard on it."

Rashford has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season and is the team's leading goalscorer by some margin.
