Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag branded Marcus Rashford "unacceptable" for attending a birthday party hours after the derby defeat and the forward has apologised.
Rashford attended a gathering at the Chinawhite nightclub on Deansgate on Sunday evening after United were humbled 3-0 at Old Trafford by Manchester City.
