Manchester United have released a new statement regarding Marcus Rashford following important discussions with manager Erik ten Hag.
Rashford returned to Manchester United on Monday to meet with Ten Hag after being absent from Sunday’s FA Cup victory over Newport County.
The Red Devils initially stated that Rashford was unable to play due to illness, but controversy arose when he was seen at a nightclub in Belfast and missed training. United has now provided an additional update on the matter.
The club said in a statement: “Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed.”
Manager Erik ten Hag has a history of excluding players who do not fit in with his methods or who misbehave outside of the club. One example of this is Jadon Sancho, who claimed that the United boss had unfairly blamed him for something and refused to apologize. As a result, Sancho was loaned to Borussia Dortmund.
In contrast, Rashford is now back in training and is ready to be chosen for the match against Wolves on Thursday.
United are facing Wolves with the goal of recovering from a loss to Nottingham Forest and a draw with Tottenham in the Premier League. Their most recent game was against Newport County in the FA Cup, which they won 4-2.
