Marcus Rashford seeks 'special treatment' in bid to save season

Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford has reportedly flown to the Middle East for a rehabilitation programme in a bid to save his season.

Marcus Rashford will reportedly undergo special treatment as the Aston Villa forward attempts to make a rapid return from a hamstring injury in a desperate attempt to save his season.

The English international suffered a hamstring injury last month, which is expected to rule him out for the season.

However, the 27-year-old is claimed to be targeting a return this term, with The Sun indicating he has flown to Dubai for a warm-weather rehab programme to speed up his recovery.

Rashford has not yet discussed his future and is unlikely to do so until mid-June

Rashford moved from United to Villa on loan in early February in a bid to gain back his confidence by playing in a new environment.

Since then, he has shown flashes of quality, something Red Devils fans have not seen for a while at Old Trafford.

The Clarets and Blue have the option to buy him permanently for £40m this summer, but it remains to be seen if they will exercise that power or allow him to go elsewhere.

Rashford, whose high-paying United contract runs until 2028, has scored four goals while providing five assists during his 17-game loan spell at Villa.
