Manchester United said Marcus Rashford had “taken responsibility for his actions” after he was reportedly seen in a Belfast night spot last week and later reported himself ill.

The English Premier League club confirmed today they had dealt with a “disciplinary matter” regarding the England striker.

According to the Sun, Rashford faces a fine of two weeks’ wages of £650,000 ($1.35 million) for partying and missing training.

Rashford was left out of his team’s 4-2 win against Newport in the FA Cup yesterday, with United saying he was too ill to take part.

Afterward, manager Erik ten Hag said he would deal with the forward following his reported activities in the week leading up to the match.

“Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed,” United said today. It did not say if he had been fined.

According to British media, footage appeared to show Rashford out at a club on the Thursday night. According to reports, it’s claimed he told United it was from Wednesday.

Video obtained by The Athletic later claims he was out on both nights.

Rashford will be available for selection when United plays Wolves in the English Premier League on Friday.

Earlier this season, Ten Hag said it was unacceptable that Rashford took part in birthday celebrations after United lost a match against Manchester City.

“I am aware of it and I spoke with him about it,” Ten Hag said in November. “It is unacceptable. I told him. He apologised and that is it.”
