Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says it is important that everyone in the squad follows the rules after Marcus Rashford was dropped to the bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Rashford found himself on the bench against Wolves on Saturday, but came on in the second half to score the winning goal for the Red Devils.
It has since been revealed that Rashford overslept and missed a team meeting and as a result, he was dropped by Ten Hag on Saturday afternoon.

"After the decision, he came in, he was bright, he was lively, he scored a goal - that is the right reaction," Ten Hag said, as per Sky Sports.
"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."
When asked if the decision sent a reminder to the rest of the squad, he added, "That is how it has to be," Ten Hag added. "We are a team that is hard to beat but that is because we are attacking with 11 and defending with 11.
"That is because everyone is following the rules. If you don't do that anymore, if you don't follow the rules, it flows onto the pitch.
"I was not satisfied with the performance [before Rashford was introduced]. I think we had chances. We created them but we didn't [take them].
"I think we have to be more clinical in front of goal. We know Rashy can score the goals and he did.
"It is a responsibility for individual players, some were not ready. If not front foot and focused you have problems."
