Marcus Rashford: Manchester United forward explains he was disciplined for oversleeping and arriving late to a team meeting

Marcus Rashford said he was left out of the Manchester United starting line-up against Wolves because he was late to a team meeting.

Despite scoring two goals in two games, Marcus Rashford was left on the bench for the trip to Wolves.

After being introduced as a half-time substitute, he scored the winning goal and had a second ruled out by the VAR.

He said that he was late for a meeting because he oversnapped.

"It's the team rules and it's a mistake that can happen, but I'm disappointed not to play, but I'm happy that we won the game anyway."

We can draw a line under it.

I'm in a good place and I'm happy with the progress we're making. We could easily have lost that game.

There were questions about the decision to leave Rashford out.

He said that after the decision, he came in, was bright, and scored a goal.

Everyone has to match rules and values and this is the correct answer if you react like this.

In his press conference, the United boss was asked if the squad was reminded to keep their standards high.

Ten Hag said that it has to be that way. The team is hard to beat because they are attacking with 11 and defending with 11.

Everyone is obeying the rules. It goes onto the pitch if you don't follow the rules.

I didn't think the performance was up to par before Marcus was introduced. I believe we had opportunities. We did not take them.

We need to be more clinical in front of the goal. He scored the goals and we know he can do it.

Some players were not prepared. You have problems if you don't front foot and focus.

Following the Portuguese's move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ten Hag said that success demands effort across the board.

I do not discuss the past. He wanted to talk about the future.

The first time we were in the top four, we took a good step. There is still a lot of work to be done. To get into a position where you can win something, we have to win all of our games.

That is what we are trying to achieve. Hard work is required from everyone.
