Marcus Rashford was conspicuously absent from the celebratory meal with his Manchester United teammates following a clash with Erik ten Hag. The star striker sat out the team’s victory against Fulham and opted not to join his colleagues, including Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, and match-winner Bruno Fernandes, at the exclusive Manchester restaurant MNKY.
Rashford’s decision to skip the meal might reflect a desire to keep a low profile. The striker found himself at odds with United boss Ten Hag after celebrating his 26th birthday at a nightclub the night before a training session. The incident occurred just hours after United suffered a devastating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. Ten Hag voiced his displeasure, stating that he had spoken to Rashford about the incident, describing it as “unacceptable.” Rashford apologized, and the matter was resolved internally.
Looking ahead, Rashford’s participation in United’s upcoming Champions League match against Copenhagen remains uncertain due to a leg injury sustained during training.
