Rashford, Pogba both feature in Man United training match

Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba were both in action as Manchester United stepped up their preparations for the return of the Premier League season with a practice match on Saturday.

Rashford has been out since January with a back problem, while Pogba has been on the sidelines since undergoing ankle surgery in the early stages of 2020.

Both players have returned to fitness over the lockdown period, though, and the pair were in action in a practice game between two sides of first-team players at Old Trafford.

Club captain Harry Maguire skippered the 'home' lineup, according to the club's official website, while Bruno Fernandes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Juan Mata were among those to wear the club's away strip.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have not played a competitive match at Old Trafford since beating Manchester City 2-0 in the Premier League on March 8.

The 20-time English champions, who are currently fifth in the Premier League table, are due to continue their 2019-20 campaign with an away game against Tottenham Hotspur on June 19.
