Manchester United have confirmed that Marcus Rashford will undergo surgery soon for a persistent shoulder injury.
The England forward could be out for at least 12 weeks which ultimately rules him out from featuring at the beginning of the season.
The club made the announcement via their website saying:
“Following consultation between Marcus, the manager, club medical staff and specialists, Marcus will undergo surgery imminently to resolve his shoulder injury.
“He will now focus on his rehabilitation in order to return as soon as possible.”

The shoulder injury is said to be one of the persistent issues which have affected the forward’s form for club and country.
The 23-year-old made five substitute appearances for England during their Euro 2020 campaign. He was subjected to a barrage of racial abuse after missing a decisive penalty in the competition’s final against Italy. The game went down to a shootout in which the Three Lions lost 3-2.
Rashford reportedly wanted the operation done straight after the Euros but he was made to wait for the availability of the requisite surgeon.
“Obviously I am not performing at my best and what I know I can perform to,” Rashford said three weeks ago.
“Whatever that is down to, it doesn’t really matter because it has been going on since early on in the season. I managed to get through the season with United.”
The United academy graduate will be hoping to get the surgery done quickly and be once again available for selection. We wish Marcus Rashford a successful surgery and hope he comes back stronger.
