Marcus Rashford ‘to pass medical’ amid West Ham United transfer twist
Marcus Rashford is expected to clear his West Ham medical even though his game time has been erratic at Manchester United, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that there is a higher chance of him facing fitness issues due to the lack of minutes under his belt this season.

Speaking exclusively with West Ham Zone, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and a Sports Scientist, said: “Rashford’s lack of game time and him being in and out of the side will increase injury risk because you need minutes to be 100 per cent match fit.
“That said, I don’t see it causing any issues with his medical.
“The club will do their pre-transfer checks and I don’t see anything that would dissuade them from securing his services from that standpoint.“
Marcus Rashford would be a solid signing for West Ham
Rashford could get his career on the right track at the London Stadium, away from the toxic Old Trafford atmosphere.
He has shown what he’s capable of and once he’s given a clean slate, he could thrive and become the player Graham Potter builds his side around.
Still only 27, the England international has plenty of years still left at the top level and this is a deal worth pursuing.
