MARCUS RASHFORD is making steady progress after shoulder surgery and could be back in training by the end of the month.
The Manchester United striker, 23, had an operation two weeks ago.
Rashford’s injury hampered the end to his season as he played through the pain barrier at Euro 2020.
He is having rehab sessions twice a week.
And United are hopeful he could even be back playing at the end of September.
That would be weeks before his planned return date.
Rashford could start light training within the next ten days.
And the club are delighted at the speed of his recovery.

He is in less pain now but is still wearing a brace.
