The 23-year-old, who was hampered by the injury during the second part of last season, confirmed on Twitter that the procedure went well.

“Thank you for all the well wishes. I had my surgery on Friday morning and everything went very well. A little sore but other than that I’m feeling good...” he tweeted.

Rashford is set to be out for up to 12 weeks and miss a chunk of United’s league campaign and the Champions League group stage, with the club saying that it remains to be seen when he will return to action.
