Man Utd striker Rashford: I played with injury since September

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is happy with his shoulder operation.

The 23-year-old made 64 appearances in total for club and country during the 2020-21 campaign - but it was a term that was blighted by a shoulder injury suffered in September last year.

"My recovery is - I wouldn't say coming to an end because obviously I have to keep looking after it - but I'm in a much better place physically and mentally," he told BBC Breakfast.

"Last year was a very long season for me, I got this injury at the end of September and gradually it got that little bit worse, but now I'm fully free of that, I feel much better physically and mentally."

Rashford made a playing return in a friendly against Blackburn Rovers last week.
