After missing the last four matches, Marcus Rashford is back for Manchester United to close out 2024.
Rashford made Manchester United's matchday squad ahead of the Red Devils' Premier League fixture against Newcastle United. Although the winger did not make Ruben Amorim's XI, he is on the bench for what could be his first involvement since he played against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Dec. 12.
Rashford's inclusion in the squad comes after Amorim dropped the England international, along with Alejandro Garnacho, for the Manchester derby on Dec. 15. Both players could only watch as the Red Devils secured a thrilling 1–2 victory at the Etihad. Garnacho since returned to the team, but Rashford stayed on the outside looking in until now.
"Selection and we have a lot of players outside. As I said every week I choose the players for the opponent and he was available for selection. This time he is here," Amorim said regarding Rashford's reintroduction.
"At the beginning I made changes because of the training and now it is to win games, always I just try to win games. The team are in the same level so I try to use the characteristics for the opponent."
