Manchester United's boss Erik ten Hag considers the recent infringement by Marcus Rashford as treated.
Manchester United's Marcus Rashford found himself in hot water after a night out in Belfast led to him missing a training session. The incident resulted in him being excluded from the squad for United's recent FA Cup victory over Newport.
However, following a period of reflection and reportedly a fine of two weeks' wages, Rashford is once again eligible for selection.

A number of Rashford’s teammates have expressed concern Rashford is demotivated following recent bad form, further expressing anger at his recent irresponsible actions.
Ten Hag's Warning to the Squad
Manager Erik Ten Hag initially promised to address Rashford's indiscretion after the Newport match. Now, he considers the matter closed, with Rashford demonstrating a desire to move forward and make amends.
However, Ten Hag took the opportunity to issue a stern warning to the entire squad during a press conference. "In football, you need discipline - that's on the pitch but also off the pitch," he emphasized. "There's a line between, when every player, every pro knows this, what is required."
Rashford's off-field misstep comes amidst a challenging season for both him individually and the team as a whole. With just four goals in 20 Premier League appearances, Rashford's form mirrors United's struggles, which have seen early exits in cup competitions and a disappointing ninth-place position in the league.
Looking ahead, Rashford will be eager to reclaim his place in Ten Hag's starting lineup for United's crucial match against Wolves. Although Mason Mount remains sidelined with a calf injury, the return of goalkeeper Andre Onana from AFCON duty with Cameroon provides a boost for the team. "Mount, it is too soon. But Onana will return," Ten Hag confirmed, addressing reporters' queries about their availability.
