United appeared to win when they bought center-back Raphael Varane from Real Madrid for £34 million in 2021. Casemiro then followed suit in a move that was twice as fast as Varane's.

JACK GAUGHAN: The timing of the change revealed a great deal about how Bobb is perceived around the City Football Academy.

After Manchester United had to offload 13 players in January without being able to make any new signings, Erik ten Hag has bemoaned FFP policies. The United boss decided to reduce his team, offloading mainly fringe players. Despite spending over £410 million since taking over, Ten Hage in Rasmus Hojlund has only one recognized fit striker, as FFP restrictions prevented him from obtaining a new one last month.

The 26-year-old role model didn't get a foot wrong on the pitch and never took his eye off the ball from the cover of Vogue to boiling up pressure on Downing Street over child hunger and raising £20 million to combat poverty. In the 2020 campaign, Rashford was voted MBE by the Queen for his free school meals drive, which changed Boris Johnson's mind and tipped for a knighthood, despite his Manchester United goals' 40 goals. However, experts tell MailOnline today that his 'golden boy's fame - as well as multi-million dollar endorsements - are jeopardizing due to his partying and a lack of goals for club and country. The England striker's decision to go on a 12-hour booze bender in Belfast has revealed that "something is seriously wrong" in his personal life, according to it, with some of his legions of followers baffled as to what is troubling him. Marcus and Lucia Loi's marriage has been going on and on for many years since they got engaged, but then they failed to walk down the aisle, the wedding being reported to have ended last year.

Marcus' brothers practice as his representatives, but they have failed the FA's new exam recently. His inebriation antics in Northern Ireland and his inability to attend training, according to Man United boss Erik Ten Hag, whose career is said to be in jeopardy.

Following a 12-hour drinking binge, Marcus Rashford's reportedly called in sick for training.

According to reports, the actor, who has sparked the ire of dissatisfied colleagues, went out full clothed into bed in front of a waitress who had been invited out with his entourage in the Northern Irish capital. Manchester United's manager, who has already been chastised for his partying this season, had 'taken responsibility' for his behavior, according to Ten Hag, who has referred to it as a 'internal problem.' However, it is now believed that Rashford, one of the club's highest paid players, was fined two weeks of more than £500,000.
