Amidst all this year’s problems, the “signs” of a competitive crisis and intense criticism, Erik Ten Haag has to face and the behavior of its players.
Marcus Rashford’s night walks in Belfast and faking illness to avoid training last Friday were the latest episode in a number of similar ones this year, such as Jadon Sancho’s.
The English “star” has informed the United staff that he is feeling ill and therefore he could not attend training and thus in the FA Cup match against Newport. In the age of the internet and the media you can’t hide and in a few hours the real reason for his absence came to light. Rashford spent the night in another… country and pretended to be sick. Apart from the “shock” he caused to the whole club, his teammates also became furious when they learned the truth.
“The players were told he was too ill to train and when they heard he was absent with a hangover, they couldn’t understand why he was doing this while the club is in a difficult situation.” was said according to The Mail newspaper.
