Wolves attempt to rattle Marcus Rashford by poking fun at his Belfast Tequila bender…but it HILARIOUSLY backfires as the Man United forward scores just FIVE minutes into his return to the team
Wolves’ attempt to mock Marcus Rashford quickly backfired after the Manchester United star scored just five minutes after returning to the squad.
The 26-year-old made his first appearance for the Red Devils at Molineux after missing last Friday’s FA Cup win over Newport County following his absence from training.
Footage emerged on social media last week showing the United striker entering Belfast’s Thompsons Garage nightclub during a 12-hour tequila bender before missing a session at Carrington the following morning.
The home side seemingly took the opportunity to mock the England international by playing a cover version of Terrorvision’s Tequila before the match, followed by The Champs’ Tequila.
However, the choice of music had the opposite effect than intended: Rashford took a pass from Rasmus Hojlund and expertly curled a shot past Jose Sa to give Erik ten Hag’s side the lead.

United doubled their tally in the 22nd minute when the Norwegian secured Luke Shaw’s cross.
Rashford was reinstated in the squad on Monday after talks – together with his agent brother Dwaine Maynard – with Ten Hag.
The club issued a statement saying: ‘Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which has now been closed.”
The official reason for Rashford’s absence from United’s 4-2 win at Rodney Parade was given as illness after Ten Hag said the player felt unwell on Friday morning.
