Last week, Rashford found himself amidst controversy after reportedly visiting a Belfast nightclub on both Wednesday and Thursday nights. The second occurrence coincided with the hours preceding his expected presence at United training. Despite informing management of illness, Rashford’s absence was noted, a statement from the club reiterated his claim, coinciding with their FA Cup victory over Newport County on Sunday.

Nevertheless, prior to the match, Ten Hag delivered a foreboding update to BBC Sport, stating, “He reported ill in the last few hours yesterday. It’s an internal matter. I deal with it. It’s an internal matter.” Presently, as per the Daily Mail, Rashford has arrived at Carrington for discussions with the first-team boss. Additionally, his brother and agent, Dane, were seen entering the club’s training facilities on Monday morning.

Rashford may sense mounting pressure, considering Ten Hag’s stringent discipline since assuming his role at Old Trafford. Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo departed the club after criticizing the Dutchman publicly in 2022, and more recently, Jadon Sancho was isolated for training alone following a dispute with the former Ajax manager.

The repercussions for Rashford’s apparent breach remain uncertain, yet the player cannot afford any off-field distractions at this juncture. Having endured a challenging season thus far, the 26-year-old has only scored four times in 20 Premier League appearances, inviting criticism for his perceived lack of diligence.
