Marcus Rashford reportedly collapsed fully clothed into bed hours before calling in sick to Manchester United training last week following an all-day drinking session in Belfast.

The 26-year-old, who has been lauded in recent years for his charity work and even received an MBE for his efforts to battle food poverty, is alleged to have downed shots of tequila during a boozy trip to the Northern Irish capital.

A waitress who claims she was invited out by the England star said at the end of the night he was so drunk that he dropped wads of cash in front of her in his five-star hotel room, moments before she was forced to put him to bed after he passed out.

Speaking to The Sun, Sarah Adair claimed Rashford, who is paid £325,000-a-week, invited her on the ‘weird’ night out in which she said he was ‘clearly on a mission to get drunk’.

The footballer, who was pictured having dinner with his childhood sweetheart fiance Lucia Loi in November months after they split, was also allegedly seen arguing with a French woman at a nightclub later after being accused of kissing another woman.

Rashford’s behaviour, which saw him dropped from the Manchester United team and saw the club issue a statement saying he had ‘taken responsibility’, is alleged to have angered his team-mates with one source saying: ‘They couldn’t believe that he would do that given the situation the club is in.’

The player appeared to have the world at his feet following the World Cup last year, but has suffered from poor form this season and in October manager Erik Ten Hag criticised him for partying on his 26th birthday hours after losing to Manchester City in the derby.

Rashford had arrived in the Northern Irish capital on Wednesday on a private jet from Manchester, before checking into the five-star Fitzwilliam Hotel and heading out to the Dirty Onion pub and Lavery’s bar, it’s claimed.

The next day, after visiting Larne FC – who his friend Ro-Shaun Williams had just signed for – the 26-year-old went to the Italian restaurant where mother-of-one Adair works.

The mother-of-one told the Sun she didn’t initially recognise the footballer, who reportedly signed a new £375,000-a-week contract with Manchester United last year, and only found out when her manager told her who he was.

The 30-year-old said Rashford was joined by two men and two women, one of whom was ‘French and very beautiful’, with the group ordering food and drinks.

She claimed that the footballer ordered sea bass but didn’t touch his food, instead focusing on shots of tequila and cocktails, before inviting her to join the group on their night out.

After she agreed to join him, Rashford asked Adair whether she knew any nightclubs that would remain open beyond 3am if he paid them enough money, which indicated to her that he wasn’t busy the next day.

‘That made it clear to me that he had already made his mind up that he wasn’t going to training on Friday. He had no plans to go home that night,’ she said.

Adair said she finished her shift at 5pm and returned to the city centre two hours later to meet Rashford, but was made to wait until 9.40pm before a Mercedes van collected her.

At this point she says she was asked to hand over her phone and told to not tell anyone other than her mum who she was going out with.

She said she was taken in a taxi to the Villa Italia restaurant to meet Rashford and his entourage where the United star had booked out the top floor and brought his own Bluetooth speaker to listen to his favourite rap music.

Adair stated that Rashford, who allegedly didn’t touch the bruschetta he ordered as he doesn’t like tomato with seeds in it, was drinking tequila with his friends and was ‘clearly on a mission to get drunk’.

Rashford was reportedly reminded by a friend that he had training the next day, but the England international was adamant that he wanted to stay out.

She said the group then headed on to the nightclub Thompson’s, where he was pictured by other revellers, before going to a private area The Attic for more drinks.

Here, Rashford is alleged to have argued with the French girl after being accused of kissing another woman, with Adair saying the furious woman said ‘he thinks he can do what he wants’.

A source close to Rashford told the Sun that he left the club at 1.15am, but Adair said the group stayed out until close to 2am before his security decided to take him back to his hotel. 

When they got back to the Fitzwilliam Hotel, where Rashford was staying in the £1,500-a-night residence suite, Adair claimed she had to put him to bed.

Adair said: ‘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.’

‘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.’

She awoke at 9.30am on Friday to find out Rashford had left four-and-a-half hours earlier.

He landed back in Manchester at 8am, but did not train that day after phoning in sick. 

A source close to Rashford told the Sun that he had less than £1,000 in cash on him, adding: ‘Marcus accepts his standards have fallen well short of what is expected.’ 

After leaving Rashford out of his squad on Sunday, Erik ten Hag vowed to deal with the ‘internal matter’.

United released a statement on Monday evening confirming Rashford had taken responsibility for his actions and they now consider the matter closed.

Mail Sport reported on Monday that his teammates were not happy with his actions, which came ahead of the club’s match against Newport County  in the FA Cup, which represents their only realistic chance of a trophy this season.
