“He reported ill. The rest is an internal matter. I deal with it, we will deal with it”, said the manager. However, reports suggested that Rashford had spent Thursday (25) evening at a Belfast nightclub before missing training with United the next day.
Speaking ahead of Thursday’s (1) match against the Wolves, Ten Hag said: “He has taken responsibility and for the rest it’s an internal matter — case closed”. Rashford has scored just four goals this season.
