Marcus Rashford is back in the Manchester United squad for their clash against Newcastle United after being dropped for the Manchester derby.
Although the winger did not make Ruben Amorim 's XI, he is on the bench for what could be his first involvement since he played against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Dec. 12. Rashford's inclusion in the squad comes after Amorim dropped the England international, along with Alejandro Garnacho, for the Manchester derby on Dec. 15. Both players could only watch as the Red Devils secured a thrilling 1–2 victory at the Etihad.
Garnacho since returned to the team, but Rashford stayed on the outside looking in until now. If Rashford features off the bench against Newcastle, the 27-year-old will log his first minutes in over two weeks. Not only did he miss out against Rashford looked to be slowly finding his form under his new manager before the latest drama unfolded. The 27-year-old scored three goals in his four Premier League appearances under Amorim, tripling his haul on the season in the span of three weeks. However, the Portuguese manager said he must 'think about what is the best for the team' moving forward. United are currently on a three-match losing streak and sit in 14th place in the Premier League standings. The Red Devils are in desperate need of three points to end the year on a high, but Amorim's men, even with Rashford back in the squad, have a tough task ahead if they want to secure a positive result against a Newcastle side unbeaten in its last four games
