Without giving reasons for his sanction, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag pointed out to BT Sport minutes before kick-off that Rashford had not followed the club’s internal rules.

The English striker, who had to leave his position as left winger Alejandro Garnacho, came out at half-time and achieved success himself, penetrating the box and beating José Sa (76, 0-1).
