Marcus Rashford vows to return before the end of the season

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford says he'll be playing again before the end of the season.

He's been sidelined by a double stress fracture in his back sustained in last week's FA Cup replay against Wolves.

There were fears that the injury could rule Rashford out of England's Euro 2020 campaign.

But the striker tweeted to state he'll play in the Premier League again this season.

Yesterday, Rashford's manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer insisted his recovery won't be rushed:

"Marcus is going to get as long as he needs, we are not going to risk him when he has had an injury. When he comes back he will be 100% fit.

"I never put myself before the team," the United boss said. "I put the team and the club before anything else.

"Yes, he had minor discomfort but he had scans. We monitored him. We have to manage players every single day. There are loads of things Ian Wright, or anyone else, doesn't know about.

"He trained the day before and did really well, he looked free. I asked him if he was OK to be on the bench and he said it was no problem."
