A Manchester United star has revealed he was dropped by manager Erik ten Hag after arriving 45 seconds late for a team meeting.

There have been reports about Ten Hag's strictness since taking over at Old Trafford last season, which most notably included getting rid of club legend Cristiano Ronaldo in November.

Rashford has now revealed he was dropped for the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers for being late to a team meeting.

"I wasn't even that late - he wasn't being harsh - late is late, but it was probably about 45 seconds, a minute late," Rashford told Gary Neville on The Overlap.

"I already knew what was going to happen because of the rules he implemented in pre-season. Rules are rules and we've got a game to win."

Rashford went on to praise the Dutchman's mentality after a successful first season in the club.

 "We've got a manager that's fully dedicated to winning at all costs and he wants us to be as best as we can individually and as best as we can be as a team," he added. 

"At the end of the day, he wants us to win trophies – there's been some games where he's come in fuming at half-time because we're not playing well. He tells us to listen and relax – he knows we're not playing well, but we're still in the game but we're going to fight to win it."
