Marcus Rashford: 2 Times Man United Star Has Been in Trouble After Nightclub Controversy

• Marcus Rashford has been involved in two cases of indiscipline this season
• The latest instance was over the weekend when he was dropped vs Newport
• Rashford is expected back into the team on Thursday night to face Wolves

Marcus Rashford is no stranger to disciplinary issues.

The Manchester United attacker recently courted condemnation after being involved in a nightclub controversy that saw him dropped for Sunday's FA Cup clash against Newport County.

According to Euro Sport, Rashford was dropped from the team for the clash after he was out late in the evening in Belfast.

It is understood that the 26-year-old had informed the club that he was ill before he was spotted clubbing.

United boss Erik ten Hag later disclosed that he would 'deal with it' in a clear indication of his intent to punish the forward.

However, the club have since released a statement saying the matter is 'closed' after Rashford reportedly took responsibility for his actions.

Incredibly, this is not the first time the England international has been involved in a case of indiscipline.

Sports Brief takes a look at two other instances when the striker went against the grain at Man United.

1. Rashford dropped against Wolves (December 2022)

This was the first time when Rashford's professional misconduct came to the fore.

At the time, the United academy graduate was dropped from the team playing Wolves for what was described as 'disciplinary' reasons.

Per The Mirror, ten Hag confirmed in a pre-match conference that he had axed his star-man because of internal disciplinary actions.

2. Rashford apologises to ten Hag (October 2023)

Back in October, Rashford was forced to apologise to ten Hag after having a birthday party just hours after Man United had been hammered 3-0 by rivals Man City.

At the time, Erling Haaland scored a brace to help City demolish the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

Rashford went out partying for his birthday hours after the defeat, courting the wrath of his manager.

The forward had to apologise before he could get his name back into the good books.

Meanwhile, Rashford is now expected to feature against Wolves on Thursday night, with his disciplinary matter now closed.

United will travel to Molineux to face the Gary O'Neil-tutored side in the Premier League.

The Red Devils will be keen to secure maximum points in the tie to boost their top-four hopes.

Rashford set for huge fine

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Marcus Rashford facing the biggest possible financial penalty for his alleged indiscretions last week.

Rashford missed training on Friday, something that significantly lowered his chances of playing against Newport. It was later revealed the England international called to say he was too sick to attend the session at Carrington.
