The most expensive party of all time: the costly fine for Man Utd's Rashford

This Sunday Manchester United got an important 4-2 victory against Newport County, a team from the fourth division, which allowed them to advance to the round of 16 of the FA Cup. This is key for them, as it is the only tournament in which they still have a chance to be champions this season, after the failures in the Carabao Cup and Champions League, and their bad start in the Premier League.

But that victory had a detail that surprised many fans: Marcus Rashford, one of the stars of the squad, was absent. He has been a key player for coach Erik Ten Hag throughout the season, but this time he decided not to call him up for a reason that has nothing to do with soccer.

The English striker was absent from last Friday's training session and, when asked about this during a press conference, Ten Hag assured that it was because Marcus was ill. However, images from the night before emerged showing Rashford at a party in Northern Ireland, where he had gone to visit a friend. This caused an uproar at Manchester United and the coach simply said: "It's an internal matter. I will deal with it.

This Monday the player arrived at Carrington training center to meet with Ten Hag and talk about what happened, but everything seems to indicate that he will receive a harsh punishment for this act of indiscipline. According to The Sun, the club will impose a costly fine equivalent to two week's wages. The total amount is £650,000, or more than $820.00.

In addition to the costly fine, it is not yet clear whether Marcus Rashford will be left out of the squad for the upcoming matches. On Thursday Manchester United will visit Wolverhampton in the Premier League and three days later they will face West Ham United at Old Trafford. Considering the striker's importance to the team, perhaps his punishment will be just the fine and he will be allowed to play again soon.
