Manchester United are willing to provide counseling for Marcus Rashford if the Englishman requests for that assistance following his drinking binge in Belfast.

Rashford took responsibility for his actions on his day off, Thursday, January 25, 2024, which resulted in him missing training on Friday, January 26, 2024.

Marcus Rashford apparently partied with friends until 3:00 AM on Friday, but he misled the club into thinking the bash had been on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.

The Englishman is expected to feature for the Red Devils in their upcoming league game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Thursday, February 1, 2024.

He was accommodated back into the fold after he took responsibility for his wrongdoing and following discussions with boss Erik Ten Hag and director of football John Murtough.


Marcus Rashford's discipline has been under the spotlight in recent seasons, with many also voicing out their worry after the footballer's 12-hour tequila binge in Belfast.

This is the second time this campaign that Rashford has infuriated Ten Hag by going to a nightclub.

Manchester United are also said to be worried about their academy graduate since autumn 2021.

Premier League all-time top scorer, Alan Shearer, has warned the player not to hamper his career due to his recent show of indiscipline.

The Red Devils are also keen on the matter and they are willing to offer physical or mental support to the England international during this trying time.

Professional help is available to any player, but it is said that the ball is in Rashford's court if he wants to accept the offer or not.

It is also understood that the counseling aid is free and open for all Manchester United players, not only Marcus Rashford.

Reports indicate that ex-Manchester United and England legends, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand have contacted the forward to offer their support to him.

The Professional Footballers' Association are also prepared to provide support to Rashford if he needs it.

This group pays particular attention to footballers that would benefit the most from the care services they render.

Marcus Rashford has in the past requested the assistance of a sports psychologist following his penalty miss during the shootout of Euro 2020.

His miss resulted in England losing the final to Italy at Wembley, and that led to him being targeted with racial abuse.

The 26-year-old returned to training on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, after Erik Ten Hag's side enjoyed a day off ahead of their visit to the Molineux.

Meanwhile, as aforementioned, Manchester United staff members were reportedly worried about Marcus Rashford's party lifestyle even as far back as autumn of 2021.

Reports claim that staff of the club were scared for the forward after seeing him relish “boozy” evenings and “rowdy house parties”.

Teammates of Rashford reportedly got angry after discovering the real reason for the Englishman's absence from training ahead of their shaky 4-2 win over Newport County in the FA Cup.

Based on a source, it was said that Rashford's teammates “couldn't believe that he would do that given the situation the club is in.”

Anyway, Marcus Rashford has scored 4 goals and provided 6 assists in 26 appearances this campaign.
