Man Utd boss Solskjaer upbeat over Rashford injury return

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided a positive injury update on Marcus Rashford.

The England international has been out since mid-January with a back injury.

However, Solskjaer has hinted Rashford could feature again before the season finishes.

"As [with] any player, he wants to be fit as quickly as possible and play as soon as possible," Ole told MUTV.

"If that means playing in April, if he'll be fit for us towards the end of the season, fantastic. If it takes longer, it takes longer.

"We just have to be sensible with it because we're going to have Marcus playing here for many, many years."

When asked for an update on the 22-year-old's recovery, the Norwegian said: "The scans were encouraging. He's now working in the gym and in the pool, and he's moving around better.

"He's in and around the place. It's like how long is a piece of rope? It's difficult."
