Q & A

What new information came out about Marcus Rashford's recent night out?

There was confirmation that Rashford attended a nightclub in Belfast in the early hours of Friday morning, after originally reporting he was only out on Wednesday night. This was the night before he reported himself too ill to train.

How does this compare to Rashford's previous disciplinary issue this season?

Unlike the previous time when Rashford went out after a loss to Man City, this time his night out directly impacted his availability for training as he called in sick the next day. So this is seen as a more serious breach of discipline.

What precedent does this set for manager Erik ten Hag?

Ten Hag has spoken about demanding high standards and discipline from the squad. This situation will test his authority and ability to deal with breaches like this from a senior player.

What position is Rashford in regarding his importance to the squad right now?

With only two fit strikers in Rashford and Elanga, Rashford likely feels he won't be dropped. However, his performances this season haven't been great and Ten Hag has shown he will drop players for disciplinary issues.

How has Rashford acted in disciplinary situations under Ten Hag previously?

Earlier this season, Rashford was dropped for being late to a team meeting. He came off the bench to score after that, suggesting he had the right attitude about the issue.

What comparisons are being made to Sir Alex Ferguson's time as manager?

The article references Ferguson removing drinking culture from the squad when he arrived, and moving on good players like Paul McGrath who didn't meet the new standards, suggesting Rashford risks the same fate.

What are some of the mitigating factors around Rashford's form and behavior this season?

Rashford has had less competition for places this season than previous years. There has also been off-field drama with teammate Jadon Sancho that may have affected Rashford's focus and attitude.

How did Cameroon's AFCON campaign go with new signing Onana involved?

Very poorly. Onana only played one game which they lost 3-1. He missed the opening game amid a disagreement with officials and didn't feature as they got knocked out in the last 16.

What other transfer rumors are circulating about Manchester United?

The club has reportedly been offered veteran Spanish striker Martin Braithwaite on loan from Espanyol.
