Manchester United has confirmed that forward Marcus Rashford will be available for selection for their upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. The club stated that Rashford has "taken responsibility for his actions" regarding a recent incident and that the disciplinary matter has been resolved internally.

According to a report by The Athletic, Rashford was seen out in Belfast on Thursday night before subsequently reporting himself as too ill to attend Manchester United the following day. However, the club has now stated that the issue has been dealt with internally and is considered closed.

The 26-year-old player, who was absent from the squad for Sunday's FA Cup victory over Newport County, will now return to training and be back in contention for selection. To establish the truth about the events in Belfast, Rashford attended a meeting at Carrington on Monday with his brother and agent Dwaine Maynard, football director John Murtough, and manager Erik ten Hag.

During this meeting, Sir Dave Brailsford separately addressed the United squad, providing insights on the INEOS approach to sporting excellence and the importance of maintaining high standards. It appears that United were informed that Rashford was out in Belfast on Wednesday night, but he also attended a nightclub the following evening, just hours before a scheduled club training session. The player then returned to Manchester via a private flight on Friday morning.

Both Manchester United and Rashford's camp have declined to comment when approached by The Athletic. Prior to the FA Cup match on Sunday, the club stated that Rashford was unable to play due to illness and remained at their Carrington training facilities for recovery purposes. It has been understood that he trained alone on that day.

In November, manager Erik ten Hag expressed his disapproval when Rashford was spotted attending a nightclub after their defeat in the Manchester derby, labeling it as "unacceptable." However, he also mentioned that Rashford had apologized for his actions and assured that the player remained committed and motivated to rectify his mistakes.

As the disciplinary matter has now been resolved internally, Rashford will have the opportunity to regain his place in the squad for the crucial match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The incident serves as a reminder to all players about the expectations placed upon them, both on and off the pitch, as they strive for success.
