Man Utd news: Fresh Marcus Rashford verdict delivered as team-mate speaks out on rival

Marcus Rashford has been urged to grab his "second chance" at Manchester United with both hands ahead of the upcoming derby. Manchester City visit Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon in the first clash of the city rivals this season.

Rashford is likely to play a part in this heated fixture, despite picking up a minor injury scare as he was substituted in the 70th minute against Everton . Boss Michael Carrick confirmed the winger was "feeling a bit of something," but it remains to be seen if this issue keeps him out of the derby.

Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez is gearing up for another battle with Erling Haaland at the back. The pair have been embroiled in some major physical battles in the Premier League , and the Argentine defender has spoken out about their personal rivalry.

Here, Mirror Football has the latest headlines coming out of Old Trafford ahead of a highly anticipated Manchester derby.

United icon Gary Pallister has urged Rashford to take his opportunities after being given "a second chance" in Manchester. The winger is back among the fold at the club after falling down the pecking order under former manager Ruben Amorim.

The 28-year-old spent time on loan at Aston Villa and Barcelona , and was keen to rejoin the latter on a permanent basis. United were keen to offload his £325,000-a-week wages during the summer but Rashford has since worked his way back into Carrick's plans.

Speaking to Betarades.gr, Pallister believes luck has definitely been on the England international's side in recent months. He said: "I think Rashford has been fortunate in the respect of Michael (Carrick) being at the club when Marcus was in his pomp and when he was earning that new contract that he got.

Sky has upgraded its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle to now include HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+ and Hayu, as well as 135 channels and full Sky coverage of the Premier League and EFL.

Sky broadcasts more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more with at least 215 live from the top flight alongside Formula 1, darts and golf.

"That's what Michael probably remembers. A couple of years after he signed that deal and he didn't look happy. He obviously got put in the bomb squad, along with three or four of the players and his body language wasn't great, his form wasn't great and I think it suited both parties for him to leave and go to Barcelona where he was desperate to do well.

"And then a contract there didn't work out. They went and got Anthony Gordon and they were both playing that same position at the World Cup for England. I don't know how he felt about all that, but I think it's safe to say he's been fortunate to get a second chance at United and I'm now expecting him to grab it with both hands.

"The Everton game was the best I've seen him. I'm sure he loves the club. He's coming in with a manager in Michael that he knows that he can work with and in the first three games, he seems a lot happier. We know he's a talented player, we know he's a threat. If he's happy and he's hungry, then Marcus Rashford would be in most people's Premier League teams.
