According to recent reports, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford may be facing some backlash from his teammates for his lack of discipline. The England international has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, as he missed training and their FA Cup game against Newport County, citing illness as the reason.
However, it has now been revealed that Rashford was actually out partying in Belfast the night before. This angered manager Erik ten Hag, who promised to handle the situation "internally" and spoke with the player when he returned to training on Monday. It has been reported that Rashford has been fined a hefty sum of £650,000, and the club released a statement stating that the matter has been dealt with and is now closed.
Despite this, there is still some tension within the team. Rashford is in line to play against Wolves on Thursday, but his actions have not been well received by his fellow players. According to sources, they are "angry" and "unhappy" with his behavior, especially given the importance of the FA Cup as the team's only realistic chance at silverware this season. They were initially told that Rashford was too ill to train, and were surprised and disappointed to find out that he was out partying instead.
The decision to allow Rashford to play against Wolves has also been questioned, as past players like Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo have been suspended for disciplinary issues. This has caused some controversy and frustration within the team, as they feel that Rashford should face similar consequences for his actions.
Former player and pundit Chris Sutton has been critical of Rashford, stating that he believes the 26-year-old has a sense of entitlement and a lack of respect for his manager and teammates. He also expressed concern that Rashford may feel untouchable and out of control, which could ultimately harm his career.
It remains to be seen how this situation will affect Rashford's relationship with his teammates and his future at Manchester United. As for now, all eyes will be on him as he takes the field against Wolves on Thursday.
