Rashford reveals he played through shoulder pain for ELEVEN MONTHS
Marcus Rashford has revealed he battled through his shoulder pain injury for almost a year to play for Manchester United and England last season.
The 23-year-old who made 64 appearances in total across club and country during the 2020-21 campaign had his season blighted by a shoulder injury he suffered in September last year.
Rashford finally underwent surgery for the problem in August after 11 months of trying to shake the persistent niggle and is now nearing his first appearance of the season.
The forward says he is ‘in a much better place physically and mentally’ having undergone surgery.

‘My recovery is – I wouldn’t say coming to an end because obviously I have to keep looking after it – but I’m in a much better place physically and mentally,’ he told BBC Breakfast.
‘Last year was a very long season for me, I got this injury at the end of September and gradually it got that little bit worse, but now I’m fully free of that, I feel much better physically and mentally.’
With pressure piling up on Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Rashford could start his first game for United on Saturday when they travel to Leicester City in the Premier League.
