Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has revealed why he was dropped by manager Erik ten Hag on Saturday afternoon.
Rashford was surprisingly named on the bench for the clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers before Ten Hag confirmed before the game that it was for disciplinary reasons.
The England international was the hero on the day though, as he came on in the second half and netted the game's only goal.

However, the 25-year-old revealed he overslept and missed a team meeting which led to him starting on the bench.
"I was a little bit late for a meeting - I overslept," Rashford told BT Sport.
"It's the team rules and it's a mistake that can happen, but I'm disappointed not to play, but I understand the decision and I'm happy that we managed to win the game anyway.
"I think we can draw a line under it and move on.
"I'm in a good place and I'm just pleased with the way that we're progressing. In the past, we could easily have lost that game or drawn it."
Ten Hag was also pleased with Rashford's response when he was introduced in the second half.
"After the decision, he came in, he was bright, he was lively, he scored a goal - that is the right reaction.
"Of course [that is the end of the matter], but everyone has to match rules and values and, if you react like this, this is the right answer."
