Man United’s forward Marcus Rashford to play against Sevilla. According to Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has flown with the team for his team’s UEFA Europa League quarterfinal second-leg matchup against Sevilla.
On Thursday, April 20, at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, the Red Devils play the Spanish giants. Given that the first leg at Old Trafford last week ended in a 2-2 tie, it will be a winner-take-all match.
Rashford has provided a tremendous lift for Manchester United ahead of what is anticipated to be a challenging match in Spain. On Wednesday, April 19, Luckhurst tweeted: “Marcus Rashford has traveled to Seville with the #mufc squad.”
During United’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton earlier this month, Rashford suffered a groin injury. He sat out both legs of the match against Sevilla and the weekend’s 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
The Red Devils’ offense will unquestionably benefit from his potential comeback. With 27 goals in 41 games across all competitions this season, Rashford leads United in scoring. Additionally, the forward has given out eleven assists.
Marcel Sabitzer might return to Manchester United for the match against Sevilla:
Along with Marcus Rashford’s return to the matchday squad, Manchester United also received a boost. The aforementioned video, which was published by Football Daily, also showed Marcel Sabitzer, a midfielder on loan, working out with the group.
In the opening leg of United’s Europa League round of 16 matches against Sevilla, Sabitzer was crucial. In the 14th and seventh minutes, respectively, the Austrian scored his first and second goals for the Red Devils. He did, however, miss the weekend league victory over Nottingham because of a groin strain.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, will be glad to hear that Sabitzer could return because his team will be missing stalwart midfielder, Bruno Fernandes. Due to an accumulation of yellow cards received during the Europa League knockout rounds, the Portuguese are suspended.
In addition, Lisandro Martinez won’t be playing for United because he had surgery after breaking a metatarsal in his right foot during the first leg of the match against Sevilla. Raphael Varane had an ankle injury during that game, and he is also anticipated to miss the match on Thursday.
