The specific details of Rashford's off-field activities have not been officially disclosed, but reports suggest he was seen partying in nightclubs on multiple occasions. This behavior comes at a crucial time for the 26-year-old, who is vying for a spot in England's squad for the upcoming Euros.

"Marcus is a talented player, and he has a lot to offer Manchester United," ten Hag continued. "But he also needs to understand that he is a role model, both on and off the pitch. He needs to set a good example for the younger players and for the fans."

Ten Hag's comments suggest that Rashford will face some form of disciplinary action for his conduct, but the nature of the punishment has not been confirmed. Some fans have called for a suspension, while others believe a fine or a warning would be sufficient.

The situation is still developing, and it remains to be seen how it will impact Rashford's playing time and his overall future at Manchester United. However, one thing is clear: the young forward has made a mistake, and he needs to learn from it if he wants to reach his full potential.

Here are some additional points to consider:

·         Rashford has been struggling on the pitch in recent months, scoring only four goals in all competitions this season.

·         The off-field controversies have added to the pressure on ten Hag, who is already under scrutiny for Manchester United's inconsistent form.

·         Rashford's future with Manchester United has been the subject of speculation, with some reports suggesting that he could be sold in the summer.
