There is no good day for the wind. This time, the key striker was disciplined by himself for off-field issues.

Manchester United manager Eric Ten Haah (53) announced the reason why Marcus Rashford (27) is absent. Ten Haah confirmed this as an "internal problem."

According to reports, Rashford missed the pre-training session of the 2023-2024 FA Cup between Manchester United and Newport on Tuesday. Rashford reportedly informed his club that he was not feeling well.

It was just an excuse. According to multiple media outlets including the U.K.'s Mirror, Rashford was seen on the night streets of Northern Ireland on Wednesday and Thursday evening. Some of them were already enjoying club parties on social networking sites.

In response, Ten Haq did not appear to have put Rashford in the game. However, he did not speak at an official press conference. When asked about Rashford, Ten Haq briefly replied, "It is an internal matter of the club. I will take care of it on my own."

He even sent a direct warning to the players. "Everyone should not waste their talent. It is not right. What if they regret it so much after ruining their career?" manager Ten Ha-ch said. "Rashford is obviously capable of such great performance. Didn't you see him being disciplined for being late for last season's team meeting? It is very wrong. If this continues to happen, it will be difficult for him to play soccer."

Since childhood, Rashford has been a rising star for Manchester United. In his first year as a manager, he led the team with particularly outstanding attack power in the 2022-2023 season. He scored 30 goals in the official game and gained recognition by the club. Manchester United even renewed its contract. 스포츠토토

However, the 2023-2024 season has been sluggish. He has only scored four goals this season. According to BBC, Rashford was also criticized by former Manchester United captain Roy Keane and former Tottenham Hotspur captain Jamie Redknapp.

"Rashford has to understand that he is a public figure. Wherever he goes, there will be a lot of attention," former Manchester City defender Micah Ricci said on BBC One. "He is causing more problems before the game. We have to ask him what is going on off the field."

Manchester United is suffering from noises within its team this season. BBC reported that Antony (24), who recorded the highest transfer fee under coach Ten Haq, is now embroiled in domestic violence charges. He is the subject of police investigation. He has yet to be arrested or charged in England. He denies the allegations, adding that Jadon Sancho (24) was excluded from the first-team squad after missing the match against Arsenal in September last year. He has now moved to Borussia Dortmund on loan.

Ten Hag is well-known as a leader who adheres to strict discipline. Sancho broke the rule. "I am a scapegoat. I am well trained. There must be another reason why I was excluded from the list against Arsenal. It is unfair," he said on his personal social media in August last year.

In fact, in an interview with Arsenal before the match, coach Ten Haah heard that Sancho was excluded from the list due to his lack of training performance. Sancho was shooting at the manager's remarks on social media. Ten Haah thought Sancho broke the rules of Manchester United's squad.

Manchester United handed Sancho a disciplinary action. It has completely separated from the first-team squad. According to British media including Mirror, Sancho was not allowed to use any facilities in the first team. He reportedly conducted only personal training sessions. Local media even reported that Sancho had a meal with youth players.

Sancho smiled at an interview for his first match since his return to Dortmund. According to The Athletic, a sports media outlet, Sancho said, "My goal is to be happy again. I wanted to come back to the stadium and help my team. I want to put Dortmund in the top three teams. I hope to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. I will not say my personal goal now."

Rashford has also been sidelined with manager Ten Haq. This is not the first time the club has been given disciplinary action. "Rashford was excluded from the starting lineup of Manchester United due to disciplinary action after losing in the fourth round of the English League Cup (EFL) against Newcastle United in November last year. At that time, Manchester City lost the derby 0-3. A few hours later, Rashford had a birthday party at a nightclub. Ten Haq was dissatisfied with this," the BBC said.

According to media, Rashford was late for a team meeting last season due to oversleeping on the day of the English Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. That's why he was sitting on the bench. Rashford, who had been substituted as a substitute, scored the winning goal.
