MANCHESTER UNITED are looking forward to adding even more firepower with the return of Marcus Rashford next month.
The striker, 23, has not played since England’s defeat in the Euro 2020 final.
Shortly after the Wembley showdown, he underwent surgery on a shoulder injury that had forced him to take pain-killing injections to get through the summer tournament.
Already back in training, Rashford was expected to return in late October and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that his recovery is on track.
The United boss hopes to see him back in action after the international break, which takes place in the middle of next month.
And Solskjaer also had positive news on the return of defender Alex Telles when discussing his squad’s injury status ahead of Wednesday’s game against West Ham.
He told the club website: “It’s going well. They’ve worked really hard, both of them. Alex is a bit further on than Marcus.

“I don’t think we’ll see Marcus until after the international break.
“But Alex has worked well and will be in the squad as well.”
Several stars will be rested for the Carabao Cup visit of the Hammers, including Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Phil Jones could join the reserve and academy players being given a runout at Old Trafford, having last played 20 months ago.
