Manchester United give team news and Marcus Rashford update for Chelsea fixture

Marcus Rashford is in contention to return for Manchester United in their penultimate Premier League game of the season against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Rashford missed the last two wins against Wolves and Bournemouth through injury and illness but he resumed training on Tuesday.

United will still be without long-term absentees Lisandro Martinez and Donny van de Beek, while Marcel Sabitzer's loan has ended prematurely through injury.

"It looks like it," United manager Erik ten Hag said of Rashford's likely return. "Yesterday, he returned to training. He looks quite fit but we have to see today what is the outcome of the training, how did we recover and then we will make our choices."

United only need a point from their remaining two games against Chelsea and Fulham to qualify for the Champions League next season.

If United beat Chelsea they will overtake Newcastle to move up to third and could secure only their fourth top-three finish in the last ten seasons.

"It's clear," Ten Hag added. "We want to win every game, that is what we do all season so tomorrow we want to do the same, we want to win the game, play dominant football and get the job done.

"We want to compete with the best, then you have to be in the Champions League. In the Premier League, you have to be one of the first four, that's not easy, many are competing for it, many think they should be in and we are one of them."
