Rashford used to take pain killing medicines over the last 8 months to reduce the effect of the injury and to make himself available for this summer’s EUROs. However, now that he has decided on taking the surgery he could miss United’s first 8 Premier League matches.

He could also not feature for United’s first 3 Champions League matches which starts in September.
