Marcus Rashford was spotted for a second time in a Belfast nightclub before reporting himself ill and missing Manchester United training on Friday, according to a report.
The forward missed Friday’s sessions despite being seen in Northern Ireland on Wednesday, then called in sick just hours later.
Footage on social media seemed to show Rashford entering the the Thompsons Garage club night club on Wednesday night with sources close to the Manchester United star saying he was out for dinner.
Mail Sport understands that he was back in Manchester on Friday morning, but missed training that day after being taken ill.
According to The Athletic, however, footage has been seen of the England man in a club in the country’s capital a matter of hours before he was supposed to report to Carrington.
Erik ten Hag revealed that the England international’s absence was down to illness during his press conference ahead of their FA Cup fourth-round clash against Newport County on Sunday.
‘This morning, Rashford was ill, and Evans was ill,’ the United boss said. ‘So we have to see how they recover, but we have, for the rest, players returning, like Martinez, like Shaw, like Maguire, like Casemiro, which is a good thing.’
Rashford was also seen visiting the training ground of NIFL Premiership side Larne during his trip, where his former United teammate Roshaun Williams now plays.

The players were scheduled for a day off on Thursday, but Rashford reportedly wasn’t close to the United training complex the night before.
It is reported that he attended Lavery’s Bar on Wednesday and the Thompsons Garage club night club on Thursday.
