After Alejandro Garnacho’s disciplinary issues and Jadon Sancho’s refusal to apologize to the manager, Marcus Rashford’s decision to party at a Belfast nightclub, skipping a crucial training the very next morning, called in as fever disrupted the dynamics of Erik ten Hag’s squad yet again this season.
In response, the Manchester United management took serious measures against the England national team winger, including fines and suspension. But it seems like there has been a bit of a change, and a new decision has been made by the management, which has divided the Man Utd fan base into several parts.
When will Marcus Rashford play next?
Yesterday, reports suggested that the Manchester United player will be facing a £650,000 fine, equivalent to his two weeks’ wages, for calling in sick to training despite spending the previous night in the nightclub in the city before an important FA Cup clash against Newport County.
However, recent reports from this morning have suggested that the Red Devils’ management has forgiven the Manchester United academy product. He is set to join the team in training tomorrow and will also be available for selection for the Premier League game against Wolves this Thursday.
Why did Marcus Rashford not receive Jadon Sancho treatment?
According to Transfer News Live, Manchester United management stated that the player has taken responsibility for his actions. In addition to that, they also emphasized that the matter has been dealt with as an internal matter and is now closed, with reports suggesting that the player will return to training tomorrow and is set to be available for selection on Thursday.
“Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed,” the management stated on Marcus Rashford situation on Tuesday.
This reported news wasn’t received well by the fans of the Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, who is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund after reportedly being mistreated by the Red Devil’s management. Recently, in a similar type of incident, Sancho was noticed violating some disciplinary issues by the Dutch manager, and the player was suspended from every other match in the concurrent season.
The issue became so big that the player had to leave on loan to the German club Dortmund for playing time this window as he refused to apologize to the manager since he felt that he did nothing wrong and the manager was just making him a scapegoat for the collective poor performances of the team this season.
The fans have been divided and have expressed their opinions on the matter. While some have asked the management why the same treatment wasn’t given to the manager’s favorite Marcus Rashford, even when his incident is still a much bigger issue than Sancho’s, others have deemed this as the right way to handle the situation – closed and privately.
Marcus Rashford has not been on form in front of goal this season unlike last season when he was the club’s leading goalscorer with 24 goals and 9 assists across all competitions. The striker has to get back into his last season’s form before the match against Wolves to help the club fix the on-field situation.
