Marcus Rashford has travelled with the Manchester United squad to London for their EFL Cup final match against Newcastle United.
Manchester United will square off with Newcastle United at Wembley in the final of the EFL Cup as the Red Devils aim to end their six-year trophy drought.
Manchester United heads into the game against Newcastle United on the back of their 2-1 win over Barcelona at Old Trafford in the Europa League knockout play-off second-leg. That win over the Catalan outfit secured Manchester United their place in the round of 16 of Europa League.
However, Marcus Rashford suffered an apparent ankle injury in the second half of their clash with Barcelona at Old Trafford, according to Manchester Evening News. The England international was also substituted late in the game, with Scott McTominay replacing Rashford in the 88th minute.
