Marcus Rashford was spotted visiting a nightclub after reporting sick, and Manchester United has formally addressed the situation. The youngster has said that he has “taken responsibility for his actions.”
The club released a statement stating that the situation has been handled as an internal disciplinary problem and is now closed. In a statement, United said, “This has been handled as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed.”
“He described feeling unwell. After Sunday’s victory in Wales, manager Erik ten Hag stated, “The rest is an internal matter and I will deal with that.”
After being declared ill for Friday’s training, Rashford is back in the gym and available to be selected for Thursday’s Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to The Athletic.
Although Rashford did not play in the FA Cup against Newport County, he is anticipated to return for future games.
Rashford’s dispute stems from rumors that he skipped a training session last week and attended a nightclub. Because of his conduct, the 26-year-old is allegedly fined £650,000, which is equal to two weeks’ pay.
Manchester United has decided not to discuss the issue any more, highlighting Rashford’s admission of his error and expressing a wish to put the incident behind them. The team appears eager to steer clear of another protracted incident similar to the most recent public controversy over Jadon Sancho, who publicly criticized Erik ten Hag before being farmed out to Borussia Dortmund.
Although some supporters might be disappointed in Rashford, the forward’s admission of his mistake shows that he is prepared to grow from the experience. It seems like the emphasis is now on him getting back on the field and improving the team’s performance.
It’s still unclear whether Alejandro Garnacho, the manager, would start Rashford in the starting lineup. He might move him to the right flank and bring Antony off the bench, for example.
A graduate of Manchester United’s academy, Rashford has had difficulties this season but has improved in recent contests. With 26 games in all competitions, four goals, and two assists, the team is hoping Rashford can find his form again and be a key member as they try to end the season strong
