England and Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has been scheduled to undergo surgery on his shoulder next week, which will make him remain on the sideline for at least three months. The 23-year-old has been troubled by the problem for some months and felt an operation was the best way of resolving the issue.
Manchester United wanted to see if the player could manage the injury, but they have concluded that they have to let the surgery. Marcus Rashford scored 11 goals in 37 Premier League appearances last season and was in England’s squad at Euro 2020.
United revealed in a statement recently. The statement says: “Following consultation between Marcus, the manager [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer], club medical staff and specialists, Marcus will undergo surgery imminently to resolve his shoulder injury.”
The statement also said: “He will now focus on his rehabilitation to return as soon as possible.” Marcus Rashford helped United finish second behind Manchester City in the Premier League last season. Manchester United also reached the Europa League final, but they lost to Villareal on penalties.
Manchester United will start their Premier League campaign at home to Leeds United on the 14th of August.
