Rashford, 26, hit the headlines after going out to his birthday party following the Manchester derby defeat.

Then he missed Saturday’s 1-0 win at Fulham after failing a late fitness test after suffering a dead leg in training.

However, United fans received positive news as he arrived for the crucial Champions League clash tomorrow night.

Rashford beamed in his smart navy Paul Smith team suit, white T-shirt and dark cap as he boarded the plane at Manchester Airport today.

And coach Erik ten Hag confirmed that the number 10 is back in the race for the Danish champions.

The Dutchman told the media at the Parkenstadion: “100 percent.” [ready]. Rashy missed a game with a little hit.”

Rashford has scored just one goal in 14 United games this season, a fine strike in the defeat to Arsenal on September 3.

But Ten Hag backed his star forward to soon end his fruitless run.

He added: “Marcus is very committed to Manchester United. He’s putting in the hard work in training to get back in shape.”

Victor Lindelof also missed out on the win at Craven Cottage – Ten Hag’s 50th as United manager in record time – but managed it too.

Teen attacker Omari Forson was a surprise inclusion in the 23-man traveling party that flew to the Danish capital.

19-year-old England youth international Forson played for the Red Devils in pre-season this summer but has yet to make his senior debut.

The first team departed on the same flight as the U19 team, which will play against Copenhagen U19 in the Uefa Youth League tomorrow afternoon.
