Erik ten Hag Rebukes Marcus Rashford for Partying After Manchester United's Loss to Manchester CityErik ten Hag, Manchester United's manager, criticized Marcus Rashford for partying after the team's defeat against Manchester City, deeming it "unacceptable" behavior.
Rashford, the England star, celebrated his 26th birthday until the early hours, despite the manager canceling the players' day off following the humiliating 3-0 loss to their rivals.
Ten Hag stated that he addressed the issue with Rashford, who apologized for his actions. While some critics have questioned Rashford's performance on the field this season, the manager defended him, emphasizing the striker's dedication to improving.
Manchester United is facing increasing pressure, having experienced their worst season start in 61 years, with consecutive defeats, including the loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. Although Ten Hag maintains support from the club hierarchy, there are reports of players losing faith in him.
The next match against Fulham offers Rashford an opportunity to score his first goal in two months and relieve some of the mounting pressure.
