The England striker needed just one goal to become the first United player to score 30 in all competitions in a season since Robin van Persie in 2012-13, but he missed the recent win over Wolves with a leg injury at West Ham.

Rashford looked set to return against Bournemouth last weekend, only to then suffer a bout of illness.

However, United have won both of those matches without an attacking spell and should get a major boost tonight with the 25-year-old returning to full training at Carrington on Tuesday.

Erik ten Hag, the technical director, told Rashford reporters on Wednesday: “It looks like that [he’ll be fit].

“Yesterday, he was back in training. He looks quite fit but today we have to see what the outcome of training is, how we recover and then we will make our choices.”

And United need only a point from their last two games of the season against Chelsea and Fulham to ensure they finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League, as arch-rivals Liverpool have officially been condemned to the Europa League.

With the FA Cup final and the chance of preventing Manchester City from winning the famous treble to reach Wembley on June 3, ensuring they are in the top four as quickly as possible is of the utmost importance.

United are still without key players in Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer but most of the rest of the squad is available, with the exception of Phil Jones, Tom Heaton and Donny van de Beek.

Predicted Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea. Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Anthony, Fernandez, Rashford; Martial
