Marcus is hoping to make a return to Manchester United's first team squad for the Premier League fixture at Leicester City on October 16.

The England striker confirmed on Monday that he will see a consultant at the end of this week and hopes to be given the green light to return to contact training following shoulder surgery on August 6.

If all goes to plan, United intend to give Rashford a run-out in a behind closed doors friendly during the international break.

The 23-year-old revealed on Twitter: 'I see the doctor on Friday for a consultation. All being well, I will get the green (light) to join in with contact training again.'

Rashford, who has missed eight matches in all competitions so far this term for United, had also been managing an ankle ligament tear which he sustained in March but his spell on the sidelines has allowed that to heal.

Manchester United confirmed that Rashford would be going under the knife following a short holiday and rest away from football in July.

They explained how both the club and player felt it was the right time to address the ongoing issue with his shoulder.

They also outlined how Rashford had been struggling with the problem ever since he tore the muscle in November.

However, Rashford previously stated the the surgery went well and that he was happy with his decision.

He posted a photo of himself looking healthy at home after the operation with the accompanying caption: 'Thank you for all the well wishes. I had my surgery on Friday morning and everything went very well.

'A little sore but other than that I’m feeling good. Hope you’re all having a great day!'

Nevertheless, Rashford will be itching to get back to light-contract training as he looks to fight for a place in the United team.

The 23-year-old is also yet to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo after he returned to Old Trafford this summer.

Rashford was one of the first players to share his delight at CR7's return to United.

He tweeted saying: 'Wow wow wow, he's home'.

Nevertheless, it will be a while until Rashford lines up alongside his new United team-mate.

In the meantime, he will support the Red Devils in their upcoming Champions League fixture against Villarreal on Wednesday and their Premier League fixture against Everton on Saturday.
