Marcus Rashford is ready to make his Premier League debut this season after answering Manchester United's calls to bulk up to protect his body from injuries.
The England international hasn't played for his club since United lost the Europa League final on penalties against Villarreal on May 26, but will be available when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men travel to Leicester this afternoon.
The 23-year-old underwent shoulder surgery in August and cut a more imposing figure as he returned to full training last week, following a two-month rehabilitation.

As reported this week by Mail Sport, Rashford has added 4kg of muscle to his lower body after undergoing gruelling triple sessions in the gym and on the pitch as he worked his way back to full fitness.
However, United also want Rashford to bulk up his upper body now that he's recovered full mobility in his left shoulder.
According to The Telegraph, the striker has put in long hours at United's Carrington training ground, often arriving at 8am and staying past 6pm.
The intense training regime has served a two-fold purpose as far as United are concerned.
Solskjaer was eager to have Rashford available after the international break as his team faces a daunting run of fixtures over the next six weeks, which includes games against Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal.
