Rashford, Varane, McTominay - Manchester United injury news and return dates ahead of Wolves

Manchester United face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday with a fresh injury worry to Marcus Rashford dominating the headlines.

United's leading goalscorer has been a key asset for Erik ten Hag this season thanks to his 29-goal contribution. But, in his pre-match press conference, the manager seemed pessimistic about his involvement this weekend.

Ten Hag will be hoping for a response from his team after back-to-back defeats against Brighton and Hove Albion and West Ham. Liverpool have closed the gap to the Reds to one point leaving Ten Hag looking over his shoulder.

Ahead of the weekend, MEN Sport has rounded up the latest injury news.

Marcus Rashford

Injury: Leg

Possible return date: May 20 vs Bournemouth

What Ten Hag has said: "He has a problem, an injury on his leg, so he is a big question mark for tomorrow. [Rashford] is doubtful, more than doubtful. So [there is] a big question mark."

Raphael Varane

Injury: Ankle

Possible return date: May 13 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

What Ten Hag has said: "We are happy Rapha Varane is back."

Scott McTominay

Injury: Unknown

Possible return date: Unknown

What McTominay has said: Despite missing the last seven matches, it is unclear when the central midfielder will be returning for United. Before the Brighton and Hove Albion defeat, the Scot posted an image of himself performing stretches on social media with the caption: "Soon." But, Ten Hag thinks he is further from a return than Varane.

Tom Heaton

Injury: Ankle

Possible return date: Unknown

What Heaton has said: Back in March, the reserve goalkeeper explained: "Yeah, unfortunately the day before the Fulham game I rolled my ankle in training. Thankfully, it’s not too bad but it’ll mean a couple of weeks out, I think. I should be back some point in April somewhere, hopefully halfway through." Since then, Heaton has not been on the bench for United.

Lisandro Martinez

Injury: Foot

Potential return date: Pre-season

What Martinez has said: In April, the defender released an update following surgery. "Everything went really well, thanks to God! Many thanks for all of your messages. Now focusing on the recovery."

Donny van de Beek

Injury: Knee

Potential return date: Pre-season

What Van de Beek has said: "Everything is going up now, I feel much better and I am on a good road now. I have to eat a lot of protein as well to recover - I have to eat well for my knee. Football is a big part of your life and you enjoy it every day with your teammates. And if you have to miss that, I try to see it now in a positive way. I am just getting closer every day to being on the pitch again and I can't wait to be back."
