Rashford fined by Manchester United for birthday party after defeat against City

The Manchester United manager criticizes the striker, seen in the nightclub a few hours after the 0-3 against City: “I spoke to him and he apologised”

“An unacceptable choice.” Erik ten Hag did not take kindly to Marcus Rashford’s decision to celebrate his birthday in a club a few hours after the clear defeat (3-0) in the derby against City last Sunday. The Red Devils coach then revealed that the player apologized and that disciplinary measures were taken against him, without going into details.

only one goal

Rashford had been seen in the private room of the Chinawhite Club in Manchester where friends had organized “a little intimate party” – as one of them said – for his 26th birthday, which fell two days later. Ten Hag then added that the striker – who remained on the bench in the 0-3 draw against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday – will be available for today’s match against Fulham. “I am aware of the facts and I spoke to him – said the coach – What happened is unacceptable and he immediately apologised. The rest are internal issues that remain between us”. Last season Rashford scored 30 goals in the league and cups and in the summer he signed a five-year contract extension worth 90 million euros but so far he has only scored once.

motivated

“He’s very motivated to put things back in order – continued Ten Hag – I know how hard he’s working, I see it every day in training. He made a mistake, but I’m sure that even off the field he’s doing everything he can to improve himself “. United are only tenth in the Premier League with 5 defeats in their first 10 games and are also in difficulty in the Champions League group. “If we stay united, we will get out of this” concluded the Dutch coach.
