Manchester United say Marcus Rashford ‘disciplinary matter closed’

Breaking news

Manchester United say forward Marcus Rashford “has taken responsibility for his actions” after reports he was seen in nightspots in Northern Ireland on Wednesday and Thursday evening.

The England international missed training at United on Friday after reporting ill and did not feature in Sunday’s FA Cup win over Newport.

A United statement read: “This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed.”

Rashford is back in training.

The 26-year-old will be available for selection for United’s Premier League trip to Wolves on Thursday.

“He reported ill. The rest is an internal matter and I will deal with that,” said boss Erik ten Hag after Sunday’s 4-2 win in Wales.

This is not the first time Rashford has been in trouble with the club this season.

He was dropped from the starting line-up for their Carabao Cup fourth-round defeat by Newcastle in November as a disciplinary measure.

On that occasion, Ten Hag was unhappy at him being seen out celebrating his birthday in one of Manchester’s most exclusive nightspots just hours after being involved in an abject 3-0 defeat by Manchester City.

Rashford was also put on the substitutes bench for United’s Premier League game at Wolves last season after oversleeping and being late for a team meeting. He subsequently scored the winner after his introduction from the bench.
