Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has criticised Marcus Rashford for partying after the side's big loss to Manchester City.

The Red Devils lost 3-0 to rivals Manchester City on Sunday before they bowed out of the Carabao Cup by losing to Newcastle United by the same score three days later.

News surfaced on Sunday evening that the England international had been partying to celebrate his birthday after the loss, but the manager was not too pleased.

"I am aware of it, I spoke with him about it," Ten Hag said, as per the Guardian.

"It is unacceptable. I told him, he apologised and that is it. It is an internal matter."

When asked if Rashford had been fined, he added "It is an internal matter."

There were reports claiming players might have been doubting Ten Hag's tactics after recent results, which may have cast some doubt over the Dutchman's future.

However, the United manager insists the dressing room remains strong and used their comeback against Brentford as a reference.

"They [players] are positive. They want to put this right and we know the standards here. We have to match them every day, we've had two big setbacks, but we'll fight back," Ten Hag told reporters, as per Football365.

"The dressing room is strong, the staff are strong and this manager is strong.

"Remember the fight we showed against Brentford, If there wasn't spirit of characters in the dressing room, you couldn't do this."
