Manchester United star Marcus Rashford will be out until October after the club has confirmed that the England forward will undergo surgery to mend his long-standing shoulder injury.”Following consultation between Marcus, manager Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer, club medical staff and specialists, Marcus will undergo surgery imminently to resolve his shoulder injury. He will now focus on his rehabilitation to return as soon as possible.”OFFICIAL: Manchester United confirm Marcus Rashford will undergo surgery on an ongoing shoulder injury 🤕 pic.twitter.com/bVgSq0ozRu— Goal (@goal) July 30, 2021 The 23-year-old said last month that the shoulder complaint was among the physical issues he felt hampered his form during the second half of last season. The forward played through the European Championship for England, despite carrying shoulder and foot injuries because he was desperate to take part in the Europa League final with the Red Devils and the European Championship with his national team.Following the club’s announcement that Rashford will likely miss two months of action, many fans asked why he didn’t the player have the surgery earlier. It would mean that Marcus would have missed fewer games for the club, but it would also mean that he would have to forfeit the Euro 2020 tournament. He wasn’t prepared to give up his dream of playing for England, and he decided to play despite the constant pain. “I’ve read some call me selfish for holding off getting the surgery this season, but it was never about putting myself first, and that’s how we’ve reached this point. Everyone has an opinion, but no one knows my body better than me. In hindsight, if I had known that I wouldn’t have played a significant role in the Euros, would I have gone? Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn’t it… We live, and we learn as they say, but what is never in doubt is my commitment to the club and the national team.”See you soon @ManUtd ♥️ pic.twitter.com/zStqWVeN6D— Marcus Rashford MBE (@MarcusRashford) July 30, 2021 Rashford managed 11 goals and nine assists in 37 Premier League performances last season.
