It has been confirmed by Manchester United that Marcus Rashford will not be able to play in today's FA Cup match against Newport due to an illness. The England forward was absent from training on Friday as he was feeling unwell. This news comes after videos of Rashford entering a nightclub in Belfast, Northern Ireland emerged on Friday.
Initially, the club defended Rashford's actions by stating that the night out took place on Wednesday, which was a scheduled day off for the team. However, there have been reports claiming that Rashford was also spotted at a nightclub in Belfast on Thursday night. In light of this, the club has released a statement saying that Rashford is not well enough to join the squad for the Newport game and has instead been training at Carrington to aid his recovery.
This season has been a challenging one for Rashford, as he has only managed to score four goals in all competitions. His performance has been heavily criticized by many, and he seemed to respond to his critics by celebrating his goal against Tottenham with a "talking" gesture two weeks ago. Despite this, Rashford was given permission to travel to Belfast to visit his close friend and former Manchester United teammate, Ro-Shaun Williams.
It is unfortunate that Rashford will not be able to play in today's match, as he has been an integral part of the team. However, his health and well-being should always come first, and we hope he makes a speedy recovery. Let's all show our support for Marcus during this time, and we look forward to seeing him back on the pitch soon.
