Manchester United are reportedly hopeful of having Marcus Rashford back just in time for the Manchester derby.

Rashford has been out of action since his five-star performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford earlier in September.

The Englishman bagged a brace and an assist during the Premier League cracker, with his impressive performance inspiring United to a 3-1 thrilling win.

However, the forward has since been sidelined with a muscular injury which saw him miss two of the Red Devils' Europa League clashes against Real Sociedad and Sheriff Tiraspol.

Marcus Rashford in line to return to action

ESPN now reports that Rashford could make a comeback from his injury against Manchester City.

United, who have seen two of their Premier League fixtures postponed due to the Queen's death, are scheduled to take on City after the international break.

It is understood that United’s medical team do not believe the forward's injury is serious and are confident he will be available for the derby.

Erik ten Hag had initially hinted that the 24-year-old's injury was not as serious.

"It’s not really bad, we expect him quite soon to be back in the team," Metro UK quoted the Dutchman saying.
