Will Marcus Rashford play vs West Ham? Latest Man Utd team news

Marcus Rashford is the guy right now. The England international completed a stellar Carabao Cup campaign by netting in Sunday’s final, which meant he’d scored in every round (third onwards) of the competition this season.

His Premier League form hasn’t been too shabby either, and the forward’s resurgence has played a major role in Man Utd’s upsurge under Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils are back in domestic cup action in midweek as they host West Ham Utd in the FA Cup fifth round. They’ve been flawless in the cups thus far, and Ten Hag will be hoping that trend continues on Wednesday night.

Here’s the latest Man Utd team news ahead of their FA Cup tie with the Hammers.

No United players are suspended for Wednesday’s cup tie against the Hammers.

Rashford was an injury doubt for the Carabao Cup final, but the England international started the game and didn’t seem hampered by any problem. Thus, his status for Wednesday’s game isn’t in doubt, but Ten Hag could rotate his wide options.

Alejandro Garnacho is a candidate to replace Rashford down the left flank.

In terms of injuries, Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are long-term absentees, while Anthony Martial has been out of action for a month with a hip injury and is unlikely to return on Wednesday.

Man Utd will be pleased that Rashford appears to be over the injury concern he had ahead of the Carabao Cup final.

He has been in sensational form since the World Cup, which is a tournament that appears to be an utterly transfromation one for the forward.

Rashford featured in 14 Premier League games before the World Cup and only manager four goals. He also scored one in the Carabao Cup win over Aston Villa.

Since arriving in Qatar, though, Rashford has been an entirely different beast. He starred for England during the tournament and then carried that form on with Man Utd.

Rashford has played in 19 games and has scored 18 goals. It’s been a truly remarkable transformation.
