Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is hoping to be available for the Premier League clash at Liverpool on 22 November.

Rashford has missed United's past six games after a hip injury he initially sustained at the World Cup was aggravated in the opening weeks of the season and spread to his groin.

The 29-year-old saw a specialist in Dublin with a member of United's medical staff last week and a new recovery programme has now been put in place.

Rashford had wanted to play some role over the past few weeks to try and help head coach Michael Carrick. However, the injury had been getting worse and although the England forward offered to go on the bench for last month's defeat at Chelsea, the club decided it was not worth the risk of further damage.

The England international is yet to score for United since his summer return from a season on loan at Barcelona. However, he has scored seven goals in 20 games for United against their next opponents Liverpool.

It is anticipated Mauricio Pochettino will have replaced under-pressure Carrick before the Anfield clash.
