In other words, he wasn\u2019t late for the session, but rather for the scheduled time.<\/p>\n \u2018The delay was due to the fact that he was electronically filling out the information the club requests each day when they join their team.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365<\/strong> Despite those reports, Barcelona head coach Flick passed his decision to put Rashford on the bench off as rotation, he told reporters:\u00a0\u201cFor Rashford, it\u2019s normal not to play, matches are every three or four days. We have to manage his minutes.<\/p>\n \u201cYou saw that with Fermin. He played many minutes, and we have to take that into account. We got three points, 3-0. Everything is great. We must focus on our game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe scored three goals, and it\u2019s not always easy to score three goals against a strong team. I don\u2019t want to talk about the opponent, I want to talk about my team. We must focus on our game and our plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd loanee Marcus Rashford was dropped by Barcelona over the weekend for reportedly turning up late for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[19139,9,10,18,13,14,6,794,19,17,11,12,15,16,20,25141,5,795,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-78643","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-headlines","15":"tag-home-page","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-latest-news","19":"tag-latestnews","20":"tag-main-news","21":"tag-mainnews","22":"tag-manchester-united","23":"tag-marcus-rashford","24":"tag-news","25":"tag-premier-league","26":"tag-top-stories","27":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
