Manchester
United insist Marcus Rashford "has taken responsibility for his
actions" and the situation has been put to bed.
The
26-year-old was absent during training on Friday after reports suggested he was
out late in Belfast last Thursday evening.
As a result,
Rashford did not feature in Sunday's 4-2 FA Cup win over Newport but he is
expected to be available to face Wolves on Thursday.
A club
statement read: "Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions.
"This
has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now
closed."
Before the
game, Ten Hag admitted the reason for the absence was that he "reported
ill."
But when
questioned further on Rashford's activities during the week, he said: "Let
us say it is an internal matter. I deal with it."
Former
Blackburn striker Chris Sutton told reporters Monday Night Club: "Rashford
hasn't helped himself.
"I
think he'll outlast Ten Hag but this can't go on. Something has to give. He's
shown he has no respect for Ten Hag or his team-mates. I think it's
appalling.
"Everyone
knows the line. This isn't his first misdemeanour. Why does he keep poking Ten
Hag like this?"
Rashford has
only scored four goals in the Premier League this term and looks unlikely to
match his return of 17 last campaign.
Wolves will
go ahead of United, who are in danger of missing out on European football next
season, if they win later this week.
