Marcus Rashford is unable to participate in these internationals due to an injury; however, Erik ten Hag believes that Marcus Rashford will still be selected to represent England at the World Cup.
Rashford suffered a muscle injury 10 days ago after scoring twice in United's 3-1 win against Arsenal. Rashford didn't play in United's opening Europa League match against Real Sociedad and won't play in United's match against Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova either because of the injury. Ten Hag does not anticipate Rashford being sidelined for an extended period of time, and United will not play again until the Manchester derby, which will take place at the Etihad Stadium on October 2.
"He's not available, a consequence after Arsenal. He is suffering from a muscle injury "remarked the head of United, he said.
"I don't give it a lot of thought, but I could be wrong. It's not that big of a deal, as we anticipate him rejoining the squad in the not-too-distant future."
After missing his penalty in the final match of the European Championship against Italy in July of last year, Rashford had not been in an England squad since then. However, he was in the running for a recall to the Three Lions squad.
Marcus Rashford has been named the Premier League Stats Performer of the Week.
The England forward was outstanding for the Red Devils, contributing to their 3-1 victory over Arsenal with two goals and an assist.
He has scored three goals in his last four games for United and has been revitalized under Ten Hag, but his absence from England's final squad before the World Cup could end his chances of making Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for Qatar in November and December. He has scored three goals in his last four games for United and has been revitalized under Ten Hag.
But Ten Hag thinks that it is "obvious" that Rashford should still go to the World Cup. Ten Hag praised the academy graduate for his return to form this season and said that Rashford should still go to the World Cup.
"That is something that is quite clear and evident, and the answer is that he should go to the World Cup. He had some really impressive seasons, and I believe that this season was the one in which he made a fantastic comeback, demonstrating his great potential and quality "he said.
Even though Ten Hag refused to give the Moldovan fans what they wanted the day before the game, Cristiano Ronaldo will almost certainly lead the line now that Rashford and Anthony Martial are both sidelined with injuries.
He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, but the fans from Moldova will have to wait until tomorrow."
