Marcus Rashford will reportedly be handed a start in Manchester United's Champions League opener against Young Boys in Switzerland on Wednesday night.

Rashford, 20, is currently serving a domestic suspension, having picked up a red card in his team's 2-0 win over Burnley before the international break.

The forward netted twice for England during their recent games with Spain and Switzerland, however, and according to The Mirror, will now be handed just his second start of the 2018-19 campaign in the clash in Switzerland.

United boss Jose Mourinho recently hit out at criticism of his use of Rashford, producing facts which demonstrated that the youngster had been a regular during his time at Old Trafford.

Romelu Lukaku will lead the United line in the European opener, meaning that either Jesse Lingard or Alexis Sanchez will make way to allow Rashford a spot in the XI.
