MANCHESTER UNITED ace Marcus Rashford was one of many special guests at the Boxstar Celebrity Boxing event on Saturday evening.
The forward, 24, wore a ‘Rashy’ necklace as he watched fellow Old Trafford icon Clayton Blackmore take on Bez from the Happy Mondays.
And Rashford was able to celebrate a United victory as Blackmore edged out Red Devils fan Bez, aka Mark Berry, on points.
The event, held in Manchester, saw many famous names take to the ring – including DJ Tom Zanetti and Love Island star Luke Mabbott.
Other fighting celebs included Dan Osborne, Jamie Jewitt, Jake Quickenden, Marcel Somervile and Simon Webbe.
Rashford was taking a well-earned break from rehab as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery.
The England international went under the knife in August and returned to contact training with his team-mates on Friday.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed: “There were a few tackles flying in on him [Rashford] and he seemed OK, which was nice to see.
“Marcus is fit, he’s worked really hard, but he’s not had any contact [until now].
“If his shoulder can take the contact now, he should be ready after the internationals.”
And the Red Devils could do with having Rashford available after winning just two of their last six games in all competitions.
Solskjaer’s side struggled to a 1-1 draw against Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, leaving them two points behind leaders Chelsea.
Rashford has been a constant figure in United’s team since making his breakthrough during the 2015-16 season.
He’s scored 88 goals in 271 appearances for the club – playing an incredible 57 games last term as they finished second in the Prem.
