Marcus Rashford carries bone fracture healing device… is Man Utd star suffering secret injury and what is the machine?
MANCHESTER UNITED star Marcus Rashford was spotted carrying an unusual box into Old Trafford on Saturday.
And now SunSport can reveals exactly what it was – a bone fracture healing device.
Unfortunately it could worry United fans that the in-form striker is carrying an injury as the Red Devils kick on into the second half of the season.
The box appears to be a Melmak Ultrasound Bone Healing Device.
The product’s website describes how it is used “in the treatment of delayed or non-union fractures and the acceleration of fresh fracture healing”.
Used for 20 minutes a day, ultrasound is delivered to the afflicted area to speed up recovery.

The website continues: “The low intensity ultrasound frequency used in the Melmak device has been shown to heal 86 per cent of non-unions and accelerate the healing of fresh fracture by up to 38 per cent in various multi-centre and randomised trials”.
The device is attached by a wire that delivers pulses to the area with a touch of a button.
If the 22-year-old was carrying an injury, he didn’t show it as he put on a masterful performance in a 4-0 spanking of Norwich at the weekend.
Rashford marked his 200th United game with two goals – one from the penalty spot – before being substituted on 59 minutes.
But speaking after the game his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted there could be an injury that is being nursed.
The Norwegian said: “Fantastic effort by Marcus getting to 200 games so quickly.

“He got through most of the game, he is struggling a little bit so we took him off.
“He kept his cool. Very pleased with Marcus.”
But Rashford posted on Twitter that he was replaced “as a precaution” – the game was all over anyway at that point at 3-0.
