MARCUS RASHFORD hopes to be fit to face Liverpool — by using a healing device supplied by a company based just a few miles from Anfield.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is praying the Melmak Bone Healer will help his star striker shake off a back injury in time to face Jurgen Klopp’s runaway league leaders on Sunday.
Solskjaer hopes Rashford will be fit for Liverpool with some help from his bone-healing device
Rashford has been using the portable machine from the firm in Hooton — on the other side of the River Mersey — for 20 minutes a day.
The gadget has been clinically proven to quicken recovery from bone fractures.
England ace Rash, who has been blighted by a back problem for weeks, has embarked on a daily ritual of attaching a wire to send pulses through the problem area.
The 22-year-old lasted just 16 minutes as a sub in Wednesday’s 1-0 FA Cup win over Wolves, leaving Solskjaer sweating on his fitness for the showdown with their bitter rivals at Anfield.
But the Norwegian plans to wait until the last possible minute to see whether 19-goal Rashford can make it.
Stewart Fraser, sales and marketing manager for the suppliers of the equipment, Ideal Med, said: “It is a low-intensity ultrasound device that is clinically proven to accelerate fracture healing.
“It is often used for accelerating soft-tissue healing as well.
“It activates various cellular level processes to accelerate the healing of the bone itself.
“The device is placed over the affected area for 20 minutes a day and the user can do this at home.”
