The striker didn't accompany his fellow team members to Rodney Parade. Instead, he stayed back at Carrington to work out and recuperate.

According to an article, Rashford was seen at a Belfast nightclub for the second time. Afterwards, he reported feeling unwell and did not attend Manchester United training on Friday.

The player didn't attend Friday's training, even though they were spotted in Northern Ireland on Wednesday. After that, they phoned in to say they were ill just a few hours later.

Video clips circulating on social media seemed to depict Rashford making his way into Thompsons Garage nightclub on Wednesday evening. Contacts close to the Manchester United sensation asserted that he was out dining.

According to Mail Sport, it is believed that he returned to Manchester on Friday morning, but wasn't able to attend training due to falling unexpectedly sick.

Sunday's Manchester United match against Newport will not feature Marcus Rashford.

The Athletic reported that they have viewed a video showing an instance where the English player was at a night-out venue in the city, just a short time before he had to show up at Carrington.

During a press conference before their FA Cup fourth-round match against Newport County on Sunday, Erik ten Hag disclosed that the reason for the English footballer's absence was due to sickness.

The manager of United shared that Rashford and Evans were not feeling well this morning. Hence, their progress needs to be monitored, but fortunately, the team has other players coming back such as Martinez, Shaw, Maguire, and Casemiro. This is considered a positive development.

During his journey, Rashford was spotted at the training facility of Larne, a team belonging to the NIFL Premiership. Roshaun Williams, who was previously on the same team as Rashford at United, currently plays for them.

According to reports, Rashford was spotted entering a popular nightclub in Belfast called Thompsons Garage earlier this week.

On Thursday, the players were supposed to have the day off. However, it has been rumored that Rashford was not near the United training area on the previous evening.
