Manchester United have made it clear they have no intention of getting rid of Marcus Rashford, despite the controversy his night in Belfast sparked last week. Despite the striker facing a significant fine and being excluded from their recent FA Cup win, the club view Rashford as a key asset for their future.
Speculation about a possible Rashford exit emerged after it was revealed he was fined £650,000 for calling in sick and missing training shortly after he was seen leaving a nightclub. Despite this incident and elimination from the FA Cup, Manchester United do not plan to cut their losses against the England international at the end of the season, according to TALKS SPORT.
Manchester United’s decision on Rashford’s future
Although Rashford’s lifestyle has raised concerns among coaches, particularly after his significant decline in performance this season, Manchester United see him as a crucial factor in the team’s future. The club hierarchy will be hoping this situation will serve as a wake-up call for Rashford to get back to his best form, recalling his impressive 30-goal season last season.
Manager Erik ten Hag maintains a good relationship with Rashford despite internal concerns and hopes the incident will be resolved internally. The striker is expected to return to the team for the next game against Wolves and ten Hag has indicated he considers the matter closed following Rashford’s takeover. Attention now turns to how the player will react on the pitch to reclaim his place in Manchester United’s starting XI.
