He returned to training on Friday and Erik ten Hag said later in the day that he was confident Rashford would be fit to play at Anfield on Sunday, but only makes the benhc.

United captain Bruno Fernandes is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards so Scott McTominay is captain for the day.

Harry Maguire has been ruled out after sustaining an injury against Bayern but Luke Shaw could play despite being forced off during that game.

Anthony Martial is out, while Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia and Amad Diallo remain sidelined.

“Harry [Maguire], he will not be available for the coming games,” said Ten Hag

“But we don't think it is for the long term. Luke Shaw, he trained this morning. So we think he is available for Sunday.

“Marcus Rashford… he will [be back, but] Martial not.”
