Wolves attempt to rattle Marcus Rashford by poking fun at his Belfast tequila bender... but it quickly backfires as the Man United forward scores just FIVE MINUTES into his return

Wolves' attempt to poke fun at Marcus Rashford quickly backfired after the Manchester United star scored just five minutes into his return to the squad. 

The 26-year-old made his first appearance for the Red Devils at Molineux, after missing the weekend FA Cup victory over Newport County, following his absence from training last Friday. 

Footage emerged on social media last week showing the United forward entering the Thompsons Garage nightclub in Belfast during a 12-hour tequila bender, before missing a session at Carrington the next morning. 

The home side seemingly gladly took the opportunity to mock the England international by playing a cover version of Tequila of Terrorvision followed by Tequila by The Champs ahead of the clash. 

The music selection, however, had the opposite effect than was intended as Rashford latched onto 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 bundled in a cross from Luke Shaw. 

Rashford was restored to the team following talks - alongside his agent brother Dwaine Maynard - with Ten Hag on Monday. 

The club issued a statement saying: 'Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now 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.
