United: Rashford accepts responsibility over FA Cup omission due to 'disciplinary matter'

Rashford was left out of the Newport game due to illness after reportedly spending Thursday night in a Belfast nightclub.

MANCHESTER UNITED SAY Marcus Rashford โ€œhas taken responsibility for his actionsโ€ after his omission from the squad for Sundayโ€™s FA Cup win at Newport.

Rashford was left out due to illness after reportedly spending Thursday night in a Belfast nightclub, but United say the issue has now been resolved.

United said in a statement: โ€œMarcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed.โ€

Rashford has returned to training and is understood to be in contention for Thursday nightโ€™s Premier League trip to Wolves.

United boss Erik ten Hag had sought to deflect the attention on Rashfordโ€™s absence on Sunday, simply stressing that it was โ€œinternal matterโ€.

Ten Hag had previously criticised Rashfordโ€™s โ€œunacceptableโ€ decision to attend a nightclub shortly after Unitedโ€™s 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City in November.

    Could be a day where Cillianโ€™s accuracy needed. Mayo squad as strong as Iโ€™ve seen. An awful shame Cillianโ€™s injured. Be fantastic to see someone up.

    Iโ€™d say Comer is chomping at the bit to get out there after a frustrating spell.
