Marcus Rashford Hands Man Utd Injury Boost as He Declares He's Feeling 'Ten Times Better'

​Manchester United have been handed a huge injury boost with the news Marcus Rashford may be edging closer to full fitness.

The United star was enjoying his most prolific form of the season, with seven goals in eight Premier League games, before a double stress fracture in his back seemed to have ended his campaign.

However, with the season stalled following the coronavirus pandemic, Rashford has confirmed he is on the road to recovery and could yet play a part in ​United’s end of season run in.

"I feel much better,” Rashford told ​Sky Sports News. “I have a scan in another couple of days and that should solidify it, but I feel much better compared to two or three weeks ago.

"I feel ten times better now. For me, now it's just about getting ready to build up back up to training and then playing games for the team.

"I'm in a much better place. I'm much happier than I was about a month ago so things are looking positive."

​Rashford’s rehabilitation programme is taking place at home rather than United’s Carrington training complex due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 22-year-old concedes he misses being around his teammates, and while he says he’s fully focused on his recovery, he gave fans an insight into what he’s doing to pass the time.

"Everyone is just dealing with the circumstances as well as they can," Rashford added. "I've just been in my house doing my gym work and recovery, reading books, watching Netflix and just doing what I can do to make the time pass further.

"There's not really anything you can do that comes close to being in the changing room and being in the team, so I'm not trying to chase that high.

"I had to have time off anyway because of my injury but I'm fortunate enough to have a bike in the gym downstairs. Not much in that sense has actually changed for me because I can still do my daily routine that I was doing."

Time away from football has afforded Rashford the opportunity to help out in the community. The England star is working alongside charity FareShare in a bid to ensure children who are entitled to school meals will still have food provided while they are at home.

"I didn't know how high the numbers were of kids not eating at home other than school meals. That number kind of shocked me,” he added.

"And then I remember speaking to a friend who was saying there was an opportunity where we can help these people and FareShare allowed us to make it work.

"Starting up with FareShare - I don't think I've actually ever done something at such short notice before. I thought let's try and get to £100,000 and right now we're on £97,000."

Nice one, Marcus.
