      Rashford, 25, picked up a knock in United’s FA Cup victory over Fulham and later pulled out of England’s matches.
      But he is back on the pitch again and was pictured training on his own at Carrington.
      Rashford did no ball work, instead focussing on fitness as he faces a race to be fit for United’s trip to Newcastle on Sunday.
      The attacker has withdrawn from five of the six non-tournament England squads.

      And he raised eyebrows after by taking a holiday trip to New York while his international team-mates took six points.
      But England boss Gareth Southgate defended Rashford when probed.
      He said: “Once he’s ruled out of the squad, it’s entirely up to him how he spends his time.
      “The players don’t get a lot of break. I’m sure our players will be flying off wherever after tomorrow’s game.

      “If they get 48 hours with the schedule as it is, I think they have to take advantage of it.”
      Rashford is United’s top goal scorer this season, scoring 27 in 47 games while helping Erik ten Hag’s side reach third.
      But Tottenham – on the hunt for a new manager after Antonio Conte’s exit – trail by one point but have two games in hand.

      Kylian Mbappe tells Man Utd they’re getting ‘very complete’ striker if they SNUB Harry Kane for World Cup star

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE has told admirers of one of his French teammates that they would be getting a “very complete” striker if they were to sign him. Speculation is mounting over the £105m-rated Randal Kolo Muani who is enjoying a brilliant season in Germany.

      His goalscoring ability has not gone unnoticed either with the 24-year-old on the radar of Manchester United alongside Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen as they prepare to land a top quality striker in the summer.
      And new France captain Mbappe, arguably the best player in the world, was happy to offer his take on the Eintracht Frankfurt forward.
      Speaking after their 4-0 win over Holland at the weekend, the PSG star said: “He is a striker who offers different game options to our team. He is very complete and has an impressive volume of play. 
      “We are happy with the game he played on Friday.”
      READ MORE ON MAN UNITED
      Kolo Muani did not hit the net in the victory but impressed with another dynamic, all-action display.
      The striker has only made seven appearances for France and has just one goal to his name, but it was in the World Cup semi-final to help seal the win against Morocco back in December.
      Kolo Muani can expect more football at international level in the coming years with Karim Benzema retiring from France duty in the days following Les Bleus’ World Cup Final defeat.
      Meanwhile, the country’s all-time top scorer Olivier Giroud is 36 and likely won’t be leading the line in the 2026 World Cup.

      The future is also exciting at club level for Kolo Muani.
      Man United have been repeatedly linked to the striker in their bid to find a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
      And the interest could be mutual with the Frenchman dropping a huge hint earlier this month that he is open to a move away from Frankfurt.
      He said of his future: “We talk about it a lot already, but I try to be focused on my club.
      “We continue our performances and we will see this summer. Afterwards, I always dreamed of playing in big clubs.”
      Kolo Muani has 11 goals and 10 assists in the Bundesliga this season. More

      He has so far been third-choice by providing back up to Kepa Arrizabalaga, 28, and Edouard Mendy, 31.
      But as the future of Chelsea’s preferred two keepers remains in doubt, Bettinelli, 30, has committed himself to the club.
      He has extended his contract until at least the summer of 2026 and cooly posed on a chair as Chelsea announced the surprise news.
      One said: “Can I get his job after the contract ends?”

      “To be here now and see the club going through this transition and seeing what we are developing, it is amazing to be a part of and I am buzzing to be here for an extra couple of years.”

      by

      WOLVES loanee Fabio Silva admits he “maybe” would have liked to stay a little longer at Porto instead of moving to Molineux.Silva joined the West Midlands outfit in 2020 at the tender age of 18 after a club record £35million deal with the Portuguese giants.

      The centre-forward has since failed to set the Premier League alight as he only managed a mere total of four goals and six assists in 62 appearances.
      The Portugal Under-21 international’s struggles led to Wolves loaning him out to Anderlecht in July.
      The 20-year-old’s stint in Belgium didn’t last long as he was then loaned out in January to PSV Eindhoven, where he still plays.
      Now the Portuguese ace looks back at his career and admits it hurts him that he didn’t have time to do more at Porto.

      Silva told Voetbal International: “If amounts of €40m (£35m) are paid, clubs sometimes cannot refuse.
      “That was the case with me. But I had just turned 18. It hurts a bit that I haven’t been able to show more at Porto.
      “People don’t always understand football very well. It’s not that I myself think at 18: I’m going to Wolves, play in the Premier League.
      “I had no control over that. It was the decision of the club and given the transfer fee I understand.

      “Maybe I would have liked to stay for another year or two, but I try not to think about that anymore.”
      Silva scored 11 goals and bagged four assists in 32 appearances with Anderlecht.
      The Porto academy graduate now counts four goals and one assist in 11 games with PSV. More
