Manchester United star Marcus Rashford admits he has a endured a "tough period" on the sidelines.

The England international hasn't played since mid-January after suffering stress fractures in his back.

Matches have been suspended since early March, and Rashford has been using this time to recover from his injury.

"I have sort of had my head down. It has been a tough period for me, the last few months, obviously being injured," Rashford told the club's website.

"But in the last few weeks I have been able to step on it a bit more, so I have just been getting my head down and working.

"I am privileged enough to have the equipment I need at home so it is not much different for me as I do a lot of work at home anyway, so I am just staying indoors and making sure I am eating right.

"For me motivation is always quite simple. It changes as time goes on, but now that everything outside the pitch is sort of dealt with, I can just focus on myself and improving myself.

"That is my motivation every day. Regardless of whether we are stuck inside or not, that doesn't change."
