Man United trio set for Milan return as Carrick names squad

Marcus Rashford is in line to feature for Manchester United against AC Milan this weekend as Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez also return, though Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko will both miss out.

Returning trio

Rashford, Mainoo and Martinez joined up with Michael Carrick's squad for the first time last week after a holiday that followed England and Argentina's deep runs at the World Cup across North America. All three were in attendance at Croke Park for United's 1-1 draw against Leeds United, but none featured.

However, they have been included in Carrick's 22-man squad heading to Poland for Saturday's showdown with Milan, and are expected to get their first minutes of pre-season.

Carrick on fitness

“Marcus, Licha and Kobbie only came back a couple of days ago so they're not quite ready but we can have them for the weekend,” Carrick said. "We trained hard, the boys who came in, Marcus, Kobbie and Licha have trained really hard and we'll have a recovery day tomorrow. We'll all recover tomorrow, train Friday and prepare for the game on Saturday [against Milan]. Again, we'll get the balance right of minutes."

Harry Maguire is also back in the squad after missing the draw with Leeds, but Mason Mount remains sidelined after sustaining a knock against Paris Saint-Germain. Man United have also confirmed that while most of the squad will fly to Poland on Friday afternoon, the remainder of the group - including Benjamin Sesko, Karl Darlow and Matthijs de Ligt - that have been working out in County Kildare will return to Carrington to continue preparations for the start of the season.
