After Manchester United’s 3-0 loss to City, the English forward reportedly went out to posh club Chinawhite.
Rash was celebrating his 26th birthday with a big party.
The Red Devils were supposed to have Monday off, but they were told they would now have to report for training.
Yes, I am aware of it,” Boss Ten Hag admitted. In any case, I had a talk with him about it.
It can’t be tolerated. I informed him, he apologised and that is it. It’s personal business for us.
When asked if he had penalized the £300,000-a-week star, Dutchman Ten Hag remained tight-lipped.
Holders United lost 3-0 at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday, and Rashford did not start for the manager.
Even though his real birthday was the day before, Rashford was substituted in the 65th minute and had no effect on the game.
Last year he scored 30 goals, a career high, but so far this season he has scored just one.
United have had their worst start since 1962, losing eight of their opening 15 games across all competitions.
Ten Hag stated that the striker’s absence from the starting lineup against the Toon was due to squad rotation rather than a disciplinary action.
And he believes Rashford is trying his utmost to turn things around.
As the Dutch manager continued, “He’s fitting in, he’s very motivated to put things right.
I am aware of how hard he is working. We have his complete support. I train with him on a daily basis.
So, he commits a mistake on the field, but his off-field behavior and choices are problematic as well.
I have no doubt that he is giving his all to support the squad, the performance, and the victory.
On Friday, Rashford was once again photographed sitting on the subs’ bench.
This time it happened as he waited with his squad at Stockport station for a train to London before their match against Fulham.
