He was subsequently dropped from the first team ahead of United’s FA Cup clash with Newport County.
But Ten Hag has since insisted that the “internal matter” has been dealt with.
And the England international has got the nod for the visit to Molineux.
On Thursday, the Dutchman said: “Marcus has taken responsibility for his actions. This has been dealt with as an internal disciplinary matter, which is now closed.”
Rashford was reportedly fined £650,000 – two weeks worth of his wages – as punishment for missing training.
During his pre-match press conference, he said: “First of all, the players at this level need to manage themselves.
“That is what you can demand from the player.
“The player has to know what is good and not good.
