Marcus Rashford is in hot water at Manchester United after reportedly missing training, claiming illness, following back-to-back nights out in Belfast. The England star was spotted in a Belfast nightclub on consecutive nights, and it is believed he informed manager Erik ten Hag of his illness on Friday.

This incident adds to Rashford’s previous disciplinary issues, with Ten Hag expressing displeasure earlier in the season when Rashford went out partying. The forward’s latest absence may impact United’s FA Cup fourth-round match against League Two’s Newport. Ten Hag, known for being a disciplinarian, has faced challenges in managing player conduct, with Jadon Sancho recently leaving on loan to Borussia Dortmund.

Rashford’s previous disciplinary breach occurred in December 2022 when he was dropped from the starting lineup for oversleeping and being late for a meeting. Ten Hag emphasized the need for players to prove themselves daily, indicating that success at a club like Manchester United requires a winning mentality and the ability to secure trophies.
