Manchester United have been given a triple training boost ahead of Thursday’s Europa League tie against Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova.
Marcus Rashford has been seen in training, allaying fears he may have a hamstring injury after being substituted against Arsenal last Sunday.
In the continued injury absence of Antony Martial and Cristiano Ronaldo’s poor form, the Red Devils have become dependent on Rashford to provide the forefront of the attack.
He has not disappointed, scoring 3 goals and 2 assists so far this season.
Another star seen in training was Donny van de Beek, who was expected to start last week’s Europa League tie against Real Sociedad but withdrew late with an undisclosed injury.
Van de Beek was expected to be able to recapture some of the form this season that led United to buy him from Ajax in 2020, especially given that he would be reunited with his former manager Ten Hag.
However, he failed to impress on the pre-season tour and has barely made an appearance in the Premier League so far this season.
Another player who had been struggling for his form, Luke Shaw, was also back in training, according to The MEN.
Shaw began the season as United’s first-choice left-back, but lost his place to the raw talent of new signing Tyrell Malacia at left-back.
The availability of all three stars means that Ten Hag will have a nearly complete squad to choose from on Thursday, with only Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri not available.
United will not want to make mistakes against the Moldovan minnows who lost their home draw with Sociedad.
With Sunday’s Premier League game with Leeds cancelled, we can expect Ten Hag to field their strongest possible side for the game.
