Tensions reportedly simmer within the Manchester United squad as players express their discontent with Marcus Rashford following his recent disciplinary breach.

The 26-year-old forward was notably absent from United’s 4-2 victory over Newport County, with the club initially attributing his non-participation to illness.

However, subsequent developments revealed a different narrative, as United disclosed an “internal disciplinary” matter involving Rashford.

The player admitted responsibility for his actions, leading the club to address the issue internally and consider it closed. Despite the disciplinary incident, Rashford remains available for selection in United’s upcoming clash against Wolves on Thursday.

According to reports from the Mail Online, Rashford’s teammates are displeased with him due to his lapse in discipline.

Allegedly, senior players within the squad are frustrated after learning that Rashford had visited a club in Belfast the night before missing a training session at Carrington on Friday morning.

The revelation about the real reason behind Rashford’s absence, particularly before a crucial FA Cup tie against Newport, has reportedly irked fellow players. The FA Cup represents Manchester United’s primary opportunity for silverware this season.

An unnamed source stated,

“The players were told he was too ill to train, and then it came out that he’d been in the nightclub. They couldn’t believe that he would do that given the situation the club is in.”

While it remains unclear if Rashford faced additional consequences from manager Erik ten Hag, the Dutchman possesses the authority to impose fines on players. In Rashford’s case, a two-week wages penalty could amount to approximately £630,000.

This incident marks the second time in just over a year that Rashford has faced disciplinary action. Previously, he was excluded from the starting XI against Wolves on December 21, 2022, for arriving late to a team meeting.

Rashford also had to issue an apology to Ten Hag earlier in the season after hosting a birthday party shortly after United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

At that time, Ten Hag condemned the behavior as “unacceptable” and addressed the matter with the player.

Liverpool’s 2021/22 season’s ‘quadruple’ hero, Takumi Minamino speaks on Jurgen Klopp leaving the club.

Former Liverpool player, Takumi Minamino now playing in the French Ligue 1 for AS Monaco has reacted to the reports of Jurgen Klopp leaving the Merseyside club at the end of the season.

The Liverpool boss who is set to depart Anfield after the end of the season, has attracted lots of reaction from far and wide, and now the former Liverpool winger/midfielder has joined the list of individuals to share their views on the matter.

Speaking while on international duty with Japan in the Asian Cup, Takumi Minamino spoke fondly of his former boss, saying;

“My image of Liverpool has been equal to that of a team managed by Mr. Klopp. What he has built has epitomized the Liverpool of recent times.”

The Japanese star expressed that it will feel strange to see the German no longer the head coach of the Liverpool team as he considers the modern day Liverpool as the face of what Jurgen Klopp built.

“It feels strange that will be gone. They are still in with a chance to win all titles available this season and I hope he gets his last hurrah.”

With the Reds in the running for a quadruple charge again, Takumi Minamino is backing his former side to go for it and give Klopp his last dance with the club the perfect send off.

The AS Monaco player also had a taste of a quadruple challenge during his time at Liverpool, with Minamino playing a key role in winning the Reds the Carabao Cup and FA Cup before leaving the club after the 2021/22 season.

Ironically, his teammate in the Japanese squad, Wataru Endo will have his part to play in same challenge after the Asian Cup ends.

With the ongoing speculation on Xabi Alonso taking over as the next Liverpool manager after Jurgen Klopp leaves the club at the end of the season, mischief makers have jumped on the trending train to scam unsuspecting fans using the Spaniard’s identity.

The Thai Police in reaction have raised an alarm to alert Liverpool fans and the public on this development.

The Central Investigation Bureau has advised supporters to be vigilant against a viral message circulating, claiming to be from the Spanish coach’s Instagram account.

The deceptive message requests donations of 300 baht ($8.50) under the pretense of covering Alonso’s airfare expenses.

The message, composed in Thai, reads, “I am Xabi Alonso, I will be in charge of Liverpool next season, but I am short of money for my flights to Liverpool.”

Following Klopp’s surprising announcement on Friday that he would step down at the end of the season, speculations about Alonso taking over at Liverpool have been rife.

In response to the fraudulent message, the Thai police released a statement on Facebook on Sunday, reassuring Liverpool fans and dispelling the scam.

The police emphasized that the message, manipulated to appear as if it originated from the official Instagram account of Xabi Alonso, is a fraudulent attempt by an impersonator.

Thailand has a massive Liverpool fanbase with the English Premier League having an immense following in the country.

Liverpool and Manchester United stand one of the biggest support base in Thailand with their iconic red shirts and club crests seen adorning various aspects of Thai life, from people to taxis and shops.
