Rashford out partying at nightclub hours before reporting as too ill to attend training

[Lash]

I honestly couldn't give a shit if he went out, but being too ill for training after going out is beyond the pale.

Having worked in finance, fintech and client facing roles, going on the piss in the week was regular, but if anyone called in sick post Xmas party or known to be on a night out the night before, they'd be out the door. That was a job that didn't require you to be in peak physical condition as well, that's absolutely shocking professionalism.

 

[DJ Jeff]

Can’t beat a 2 day session to be fair . I’d have called in sick as well.

If he hadn't been absolutely shite with a face like a slapped arse all season, I'd agree. It's only Newport. But he's been shite, and he has had a shite attitude, so he deserves all the pelters he's going to get.

 

[V.O.]

I hope INEOS can get to the root of what's happening in the dressing room, and the whole culture of the club.

Even putting this incident aside, there are so many times you see him on the pitch for us lately looking like he can't be arsed and doesn't want to be there. I'd never have thought I'd be saying that about him when he first broke through.

Evans also mysteriously out with illness but I guess it doesn't sell as many papers

 

[MiceOnMeth]

I would'nt have played him anyway....Amad, Rasmus and Alejandro would have been my frontline.
Do professional footballers get on the piss these days anyway?
I cannot imagine Marcus downing the pints or getting pissed up on the spirits as there would be people in the club doing videos or snapping him anyway.

Probably on the packet.

"The Reds announced Rashford arrived for training ill on Friday. United have since confirmed to MEN Sport this illness is not related to the pictures circulating on social media of the winger in Belfast on Wednesday night."

Article says he was with his mate Ro-Shaun Williams (ex youth player of ours) who has just signed for Larne over there.

Oh i knew he was Larne and couldn't understand why anyone would be in Larne let alone Rashford. That makes sense now

He's the last remnant of the PR brand era, hopefully its over now with the new regime

 

[OleGunnar20]

And why would they pay him that much ?

Who knows if they would, they're one of the few who do pay such wages is the point. Skriniar, Marquinos, Hernandez, Dembele & of course Mbappe all on North of £250kp/w from a quick Google.

Assuming that Mbappe actually does move on this Summer there'd be a tailor made space there for him and a massive gap in the wage bill to work with.

I can't see many other potential moves at his current wage unfortuanetly.

This is from this morning. The Athletic article is from this evening and addresses the fact that the club tried to brush it off as him only being out on the Wednesday, and say they've been able to confirm that it was Thursday too.

He’s been dealt a poor hand EtH, the bad news just keeps on coming.

How is this the managers fault?
*edit - I misread your post, I understand now. Apologies! *

Of course they’re going to say that, and of course he is going to deny that he’s rang in sick because he was rough.

But even if he has the flu it just looks absolutely shit, and I know if I rang in sick after being out two nights on the bounce and my boss found out I’d be fecked.

 

[Plant0x84]

Belfast for a night out? Really?

His mate, Ro-Shaun Williams has signed for a club over there. Must have been visiting.

 

[cj_sparky]

How is this the managers fault?

I think he means that ten Hag has been dealt a bad hand with what he inherited and all the issues he has had to deal with.

Bye gimp.

Ah ok, I misread the post. Apologies @M Bison - I happen to agree with you too. It never rains but pours for Erik in Manchester!

That doesn’t mean it’s his fault

 

[hobbers]

Evans also mysteriously out with illness but I guess it doesn't sell as many papers

Also might be because he hasn't been snapped in nightclubs two consecutive nights.

 

[Plant0x84]

That doesn’t mean it’s his fault

See above

 

[Revaulx]

What a disappointment he turned out to be. What a disappointment so many of our high-potential youth academy kids turn out to be.

It’s worse in Rashford’s case, because for his first few years in the first team he had an exemplary attitude. The rest of them (Januzaj et seq.) laid their multitude of failings bare early on.

Whatever; I’m much more inclined to blame the club’s rotten culture that’s been allowed to develop under Woodward and the Glazers than a load of impressionable individuals.

 

[DJ_21]

Our players forever in the headlines for the wrong reasons!

 

[NotChatGPT]

The idea of going out clubbing, sober or not, in Manchester the day before training is daft enough, as it‘s always going to be unprofessional and have a detrimental effect on his ability to perform. Proper rest is crucial.

It’s sort of funny that he somehow thought it made sense to do that in Belfast, because he can hop on a private jet to Manchester and arrive for training. Impressive really.

Will be interesting to see how the club handles this, because he’s the poster boy for Manchester United

 

[Suspicious Swelling]

At least its not a story about alleged rape or wife beating. Baby steps. Honestly this set of players

 

[Berbasbullet]

I refuse to have an opinion, we don’t know 100% sure exactly what happened! How can I judge anything?!

The club have already tried to cover it up, not a good look really

[horsechoker]

Roy Keane partied in Dublin and still showed up for training

Disgrace

 

[VP89]

Evans also mysteriously out with illness but I guess it doesn't sell as many papers

Was he at the club too?

 

[Castia]

He’s out almost every week it’s no secret Rashford is a regular at Chinawhite in town

Its no real issue if he’s performing for the club but this Is a piss take when he’s missing training and playing like he doesn’t give a feck

Needs to be completely removed from the squad. Zero policy on going out on the beer and missing training the next morning.

He also missed training at the start of December after he was dropped to the bench against Bournemouth, his attitude is absolutely rotten.

You can go a club and not drink. You can go to a club and then get ill for another reason.

[Blood Mage]

A rotten player with a rotten mentality, he needs to follow Sancho out of the club. If we're going to build a winning team players like Rashford cannot be part of it.

 

[Revaulx]

How is this the managers fault?

The word order is a bit confusing. I’m sure they mean EtH has been dealt a poor hand. Which I absolutely agree with.

 

[NotChatGPT]

The illness is just the cherry on the top really, doesn’t have to be related. The level of unprofessionalism just by going clubbing the day before training is staggering, it’s always going to have a negative effect on performances. To top it off, he did it in Belfast and took at private jet to get back in time for training.

Hoping Mainoo and Garnacho don't follow in the footsteps of their seniors in Lingard, Pogba, Greenwood, and this version of Rashford.

 

[Lay]

Waiting for his Instagram post about working hard

 

[Revaulx]

Covering it up is to the benefit of everyone.

If it works. Not if it’s almost instantly exposed, as has apparently happened here.

 

[Red00012]

If he hadn't been absolutely shite with a face like a slapped arse all season, I'd agree. It's only Newport. But he's been shite, and he has had a shite attitude, so he deserves all the pelters he's going to get.

Probably doesn’t fancy going to a bog standard dressing room and playing against a team who’ll play like their lives depend on it.

 

[Stadjer]

I’ve always said it we are going nowhere as long as this guy is at the club .

Disagree. Rashford is a good player. He has quality. He just isnt world class but he is good enough to be a Manchester United player. He just shouldnt be the star player or 'talisman' which he has been for Ole and was last season for ETH. He isnt good enough for that role.
