Marcus Rashford made an immediate impact since returning to the Manchester United squad with a five-minute goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old attacker had been the point of discussion after he was seen at a Belfast nightclub before he failed to report to training, citing illness.

Rashford was not available for selection when Manchester United defeated Newport 4-2 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

However, he returned to the Manchester United squad before the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers after taking responsibility for his actions.


The English international repaid the favor with a curly effort from the edge of the box. The goal was Marcus Rashford's fifth goal in the Premier League this season.

In addition, Rashford also played an important role in Manchester United's second goal, setting the ball for Luke Shaw, who created the chance for Rasmus Hojlund to score.

Last season, the attacker scored the winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers after coming off the bench due to a disciplinary action vested on him by Erik Ten Hag for being late to training.

Rashford accepted the punishment last season after he claimed to have overslept.

At that time last season, Rashford said, "Obviously, it's the rules. It's a mistake that can happen."

"I was disappointed not to start, but I understand the decision. I was happy we managed to win the game anyway, so we can draw a line under it. I was late for a meeting; I overslept."

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag claimed the Marcus Rashford nightclub case was an internal matter and had been dealt with.

It was reported that Marcus Rashford was fined £650,000 which is two weeks' worth of wages as punishment for missing training.

Ten Hag has urged Marcus Rashford and his other players to remember what it means to play for Manchester United.

During his pre-match conference, he said, "First of all, the players at this level need to manage themselves. That is what you can demand from the player."

“The player has to know what is good and what is not good."

Erik Ten Hag stated the difference between the Marcus Rashford case and Sancho's

Before the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag was accused of favoritism in how he had treated Marcus Rashford's case compared to Jadon Sancho's.

However, the manager was quick to explain the difference between the two situations, saying Jadon Sancho aired his grievances publicly while Marcus Rashford handled his internally.

Also, Sancho failed to apologize for his actions after going public about how he felt about Erik Ten Hag's response to why he was not selected against Arsenal in September 2023.

Due to that, he failed to break into the Manchester United squad again and was sent on loan to play for his former club, Borussia Dortmund.
