Rashford could be set for his first Premier League minutes since the start of December after seemingly being recalled by manager Amorim. The new United boss has left Rashford out of the team's last four matches but he does appear to be part of the squad for Monday's match with Newcastle. The club showed Rashford arriving for the game with the rest of the squad, kitting out in his club tracksuit and carrying a boot bag.

Amorim is without some key players for the game as Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are both suspended, while Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are all injured, which may explain Rashford's return. The forward's future at United has become uncertain following Amorim's arrival and decision to leave him out of his most recent squads. The forward has reacted by claiming he's "ready for a new challenge" in a bombshell interview that suggested his time at the club was up. Monday's match is United's final game of 2024 and also their last one before the January transfer window opens.
