Marcus Rashford Apologises for Red Card, Says 'Emotions Got the Better' of Him

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has apologised to fans after he was shown a red card for violent conduct, as the Red Devils defeated Burnley 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.

The attacker reacted after Clarets defender Phil Bardsley had swiped his legs away after a challenge for the ball.

Rashford and Bardsley went head-to-head, but it was the United player given his marching orders as the aggressor.

Rashford publicly apologised via Twitter:
