Rashford set for three months on sidelines

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is set to miss the first three months of the season - with surgery on a shoulder injury scheduled for next week. 

The 23-year-old was plagued by the shoulder issue for much of last season and has opted to go under the knife to resolve the problem.

A member of the England squad that reached the final of Euro 2020, Rashford scored 11 Premier League goals in 37 top flight games last season.

"Following consultation between Marcus, the manager [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer], club medical staff and specialists, Marcus will undergo surgery imminently to resolve his shoulder injury," said a Manchester United statement.

"He will now focus on his rehabilitation in order to return as soon as possible."
