Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful that Marcus Rashford will be fit for Manchester United's trip to West Ham after taking part in training.
Rashford came off struggling with a shoulder injury after scoring in United's 3-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The 22-year-old withdrew from Gareth Southgate's England squad during the most recent international break with a shoulder problem but has played in all four of United's games since.
"Marcus has been training this morning, not fully but he joined in with the group," Solskjaer said.
"His shoulder stopped him finishing the game so he's been getting treatment and hopefully he'll be part of the squad that travels, we'll see after training."

"It'll be great playing in front of fans. We're looking forward to it," Solskjaer said.
"We won't have our fans there but will have to use the energy and thrive off the home fans and make them quiet and edgy.
"We're looking forward to it. It's great to see fans back in a stadium. hopefully we'll get them back at Old Trafford soon."
