Manchester United forward Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Marcus Rashford is available for selection on Sunday afternoon, when the Red Devils head to Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.
Rashford missed out against Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend due to illness, and he was also absent from training earlier this week, but the 27-year-old has been cleared for the game with the Gunners.
It is far from certain that the Englishman will be involved, though, as he has recently been overlooked by Amorim due to poor performances in training and his general demeanour around Carrington.
Rashford is also being heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with AC Milan seemingly the favourites to sign him on loan for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.
There is a chance that he could be in the Red Devils squad this weekend, though, and with that in mind, Sports Mole looks at how the forward has performed against Arsenal during his professional career.

Rashford has faced Arsenal on 18 occasions in all competitions, boasting a record of six wins, four draws and eight defeats, while he has scored six times and provided four assists.

Seventeen of his 18 matches against Arsenal have come in the league, with his record standing at five wins, four draws and eight defeats, scoring six goals and registering four assists.
Rashford has also tackled the North London club on one occasion in the FA Cup, helping his side record a 3-1 victory over the Gunners in the fourth round of the competition back in January 2019.
The attacker has impressed in his recent meetings with Arsenal, scoring four times and registering one assist in the last five Premier League meetings between the two sides.
Indeed, he scored a brace in a 3-1 home success for Man United in 2022-23, before finding the back of the net in a 3-2 defeat for the Red Devils at the Emirates Stadium.
Rashford also registered in Man United's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in the league in 2023-24, but he missed the return fixture at Old Trafford, which proved to be a 1-0 loss for the Red Devils, due to injury.
The forward's last outing against Arsenal came in December 2024, as he came off the bench in a 2-0 loss for Man United at the Emirates Stadium.
