Your support makes all the difference.Marcus Rashford joined his team-mates as Luke Shaw returned to group training on the eve of Manchester United’s Europa League game against FCSB but neither made the trip to Romania.
Shaw featured in Ruben Amorim’s first three matches in charge, only for the left-back to suffer his latest injury setback that has kept him out since the start of December.
Shaw’s return to the fold comes as a boost for United, who are seeking to bolster the left flank by bringing in Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu before Monday’s transfer deadline.
There is plenty of other transfer speculation swirling around the Old Trafford club in the final days of the window, with homegrown forward Rashford’s future a key matter that needs resolving.
The 27-year-old has not played for United since their last Europa League trip to Viktoria Plzen on December 12 before admitting in an interview that he was ready for a new challenge.
Amorim has been repeatedly asked about Rashford’s future since then and questioned his commitment after Sunday evening’s 1-0 win at Fulham.
The forward trained with his team-mates on Wednesday, as did Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho as talk of potential exits around them also continues.
But, while the latter duo were named in United’s 21-man squad to face FCSB, there was no place on the plane for Rashford.
