Marcus Rashford drunkenly dropped huge wads of cash on floor after 12-hour bender, waitress says

MARCUS Rashford dropped huge wads of cash on a booze fuelled 12-hour bender, a waitress has claimed.

The Manchester United striker, 26, was axed for last Sunday’s FA Cup tie at Newport County after missing training following two days of partying in Belfast.

After a rapid rise to be one of Utd’s most bankable stars and a campaigner off the pitch, there are fears he’s struggling and needs support.

A waitress who joined the Manchester United ace on his booze bender told how he was “on a mission to get drunk”.

Sarah Adair, 30, said the sloshed striker downed tequila shots and cocktails before collapsing on a hotel bed fully clothed just before 3am.

“He was so drunk at this point that he picked up his own bag and dropped it and all this cash fell out. It was all £20 notes and big wads of it. I reckon there was between £8,000 and £10,000 cash,” she said.

“Then he falls back into the wall and I have to kind of scoop him up and on to the bed.

“He was fully dressed and I reckon he just passed out like that. He didn’t even get under the covers.”

A source close to Rashford claimed the star returned to the hotel at 1.15am, did not drink cocktails and had less than £1,000 in cash.

It comes after Rashford had spent two days partying on a visit to Belfast to see a pal, and got a 7am private jet back to Manchester on Friday.

But, he then rang in sick for training and was later fined £650,000 — two weeks’ wages — and dropped from the FA Cup tie at Newport County last Sunday.

He was pictured yesterday morning arriving at training ahead of showdown talks with United bosses.

Waitress Sarah added: “I’m not surprised he missed training the next day given how late he got to bed and how much he’d had to drink. He must’ve known he wasn’t going to be in any fit state to play football.”

The mum of one was working on Thursday afternoon when a two-man security team came in and asked for a discreet table for a “high-profile” VIP party.

At first Sarah thought it could be a famous actor such as James Nesbitt or Jamie Dornan because the city is a hotbed for filming.

When Rashford walked in, she did not recognise him and only realised he was a footballer when her United-mad manager told her.

She said: “He was with two men and two women. One was clearly a friend and the other girl was French and very beautiful.

“She seemed to be with Marcus because of how they interacted. She was touching his knee and he was touching her arm, but you could tell from the conversation they didn’t know each other that well. It was like he’d just met her.”

Earlier Rashford had visited Larne FC after his footballer pal Ro-Shaun Williams signed for the Northern Irish club.

As Sarah served the group, Rashford also told how he had visited the Dirty Onion bar and Lavery’s pub the night before after flying into the city.

He ordered sea bass then asked her where was good to go out, adding: “You should come out with us and show us around.”

She claimed Rashford had “no plans to go home that night” after asking which clubs stayed open past 3am.

Sarah also said the footballer “was clearly on a mission to get drunk” as he passed bottles of booze around at the Villa Italia restaurant later in the evening.

The group then headed to a private area called The Attic after finishing up with their meal.

Last night a source close to Rashford insisted the striker left the club at 1.15am.

But Sarah says the group partied until shortly after 2am when Rashford’s pals and security decided the footballer was too drunk and needed to go to bed.

They then headed back to the five-star Fitzwilliam Hotel where Rashford was staying in the £1,500-a-night residence suite.

Yesterday Rashford and his agent brother Dwaine met with manager Erik ten Hag and United’s director of football John Murtough for showdown talks.

A source added: “Marcus accepts his standards have fallen well short of what is expected.”

Last night the club said: “Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed.”
