Manchester United injury news and return schedules for Hojlund, Rashford, and Shaw prior to Everton

Manchester United faces a challenging task in fielding a depleted squad for their upcoming Premier League clash against Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon (12:30 pm).

Marcus Rashford is one of the players requiring assessment after sustaining a knock during the club’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City. During the defeat at the Etihad Stadium, United endured the absence of eight senior players.

Rashford is hopeful of being deemed fit before the Everton encounter, having  been substituted as a precautionary measure, alongside Jonny Evans, who was also

replaced due to fitness concerns, with Willy Kambwala taking his place.

Here’s the latest update from Carrington’s treatment room:
