During Manchester United’s Champions League match against Galatasaray, Marcus Rashford was observed exiting his McLaren and visiting his preferred jewelry store.
Rashford was barred from European play for one match, thus he was not included in the 22-man squad that flew to Istanbul for the pivotal Group A encounter at Rams Park.
After losing Rashford, United drew the game 3-3 in front of an enraged home crowd in Turkey. Bruno Fernandes’ incredible goal put the squad ahead by two goals. Alejandro Garnacho assumed the lead for the team. Scott McTominay and Hakim Ziyech scored first, then Muhammad Kerem Akturkoglu scored a late equalizer.
Rashford, an Englishman, was absent from Manchester United’s most recent Champions League match, a 4-3 loss to Copenhagen, a Danish Superliga team, after he was shown a straight red card and sent off.
After tackling Elias Jelert in the 42nd minute, Rashford was ordered off the pitch. The Red Devils were ahead 2-0 at that point, but their error cost them the match.
He had no choice but to stay at home while Manchester United was in Turkey. The 26-year-old forward seemed to be enjoying his vacation, though.
After inadvertently stamping on Jelert during United’s loss to FC Copenhagen earlier this month, Rashford was sent off of the team during their Champions League group stage encounter against Galatasaray.
The red card incident at the time caused a great deal of anger among the public. They contended that while attempting to defend the ball, the forward could not have known where his opponent was.
