A spokesperson for the club stated, “Marcus is fine and was not injured. It was an accidental collision as he left the training ground after returning from Burnley.
It was an incident involving his car and one driven by a member of the public. Thankfully, both were uninjured, and no ambulance was required.”
According to a source quoted in the Mirror, “Modern vehicles are incredibly robust, and that helped to protect Marcus. He got out of the car unassisted, and his first thought was for the woman motorist to make sure that she was not hurt.”
The source further explained that Bruno Fernandes, a teammate, stopped to check on Rashford when he saw the accident.
“Bruno stopped because he saw his teammate and obviously he was worried about him and the woman driver. So he made sure they were both fine and able to leave the scene without any problems.”
Rashford, who is expected to be available for the upcoming match against Crystal Palace, took to social media to provide an update to his followers, writing, “3 points on the road! I’m alright, guys, thanks for the messages.”
The victory against Burnley marked Manchester United’s third win in six Premier League matches and their first away win of the season. It also put an end to a streak of three consecutive defeats in all competitions.
The kick-off time for the match had been rescheduled following Manchester United’s midweek clash with Bayern Munich in the Champions League, where they narrowly lost 4-3 at the Allianz Arena.
After the win, captain Bruno Fernandes commented on the team’s performance, saying, “We knew the momentum was tough but that we could come back from this. The team has great players and a great spirit.”
Fernandes added, “We’ve been a little bit unlucky, but the performances haven’t been the best. Today we showed great spirit.
With the performance, we sacrificed a lot because Burnley played great football and have great qualities. I think the points they have don’t show the quality they have because it’s really tough to play against them.”
In summary, Marcus Rashford’s involvement in a car accident near Manchester United’s training ground has ended without injury, reassuring fans of his well-being.
Manchester United’s victory against Burnley was a crucial one, breaking a streak of defeats and marking their first away win of the season. Captain Bruno Fernandes highlighted the team’s spirit and determination in securing the victory.
