Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is set to receive a fine equivalent to two weeks’ salary, amounting to £650,000, following his attendance at a nightclub on Thursday.
As reported by The Sun, Manchester United has chosen to impose a substantial fine on Rashford for his involvement in the nightclub event in Northern Ireland. Despite being spotted in a Belfast nightclub, the England international claimed illness and was consequently absent from training on Friday, leading to his absence from Manchester United’s 4-2 victory against Newport County on Sunday.
Manchester United attributed Rashford’s omission to ‘illness,’ despite evidence of his nightclub attendance. Manager Erik ten Hag has affirmed that he will address the matter, but he refrained from confirming whether Rashford had provided inaccurate information regarding the nightclub visit.
