The Marcus Rashford nightclub saga has come and gone. Erik ten Hag labelled his star forward’s behaviour “unacceptable” and confirmed it had been dealt with internally at the start of the month. Yet it has rubbed one of Manchester United’s former players the wrong way and highlighted a glaring issue in Ten Hag’s squad.<\/p>\n
Rashford made headlines for visiting a nightclub hours after the humiliating 3-0 derby defeat against Manchester City at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old was celebrating his birthday in a contained event with friends and family but garnered criticism for not opting for a private gathering.<\/p>\n
Rashford’s struggles in front of goal have heavily contributed to United’s disastrous second season under Ten Hag – netting just once in 16 appearances.<\/p>\n

I do believe that he shouldn’t have gone. Ten Hag is right [in saying it was unacceptable] to be fair.<\/p>\n “They’re really difficult to deal with now, these players. They’re all multi-millionaires, they’re all superstars, and they’re all in the media every five minutes. I wouldn’t want the job to deal with them.”<\/p>\n Rashford was one of United’s primary leaders last term, in which he scored a career-best 30 goals to help the club to Carabao Cup glory and third in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n
