Case closed: Erik ten Hag on Marcus Rashford incident
The Manchester United manager revealed that the club had resolved the issue with Rashford internally and that no further discussion was required. "He has taken responsibility and the rest is an internal matter. Case closed," said Ten Hag, as quoted by Sky Sports.
Speaking on the importance of discipline in the team, the Dutch manager said, "Nothing to do with that with me. But in football you need discipline, and that is on the pitch but also off the pitch because also there is a line between. Every player knows this, every professional knows this, what is required."
