Manchester United get fitness boost ahead of Liverpool game as training squad confirmed

The early team news and injury latest ahead of Manchester United’s daunting trip to Liverpool in the Premier League

Marcus Rashford was pictured in good spirits with his Manchester United teammates in training ahead of a crucial trip to Liverpool this weekend.

Erik ten Hag’s side travel to Anfield for a pivotal clash which may have long-term consequences, either positively or negatively, on the manager’s future. Supporters – and players – are still battle-scarred from the humiliating 7-0 drubbing suffered in March.

They are without captain Bruno Fernandes, who was also spotted in training, but can expect Rashford available for selection. The 26-year-old missed the defeat to Bayern Munich through illness but appears fit and well if snaps from Carrington are anything to go by.
