“He saw episodes where they were drinking tequila and thought he’d give it a try so he began ordering on the internet.
“He got a taste for it and started buying really expensive bottles, spending thousands having them imported from the US and Mexico.”
Rashford’s favourite brands of tequila, made from the blue agave plant growing in the Mexican desert, include £50 to £80 bottles of Artenom Seleccion de 1146 and Patron.
He was dropped for Sunday’s FA Cup win at Newport and fined two weeks’ wages of £650,000.

Warning by Gazza
By Joe Morgan
PAUL Gascoigne has warned Rashford to avoid the road he went down.
Gazza, 56, battled with booze during his career.
He said he was a fan of Marcus but “you can tell things are just not right for him right now”.
He said: “I’d say to him, ‘Don’t make the same mistakes as me’. He may need the help of the players around him, the staff to bring him round.
“Marcus is earning a fortune at one of the biggest clubs in the world, and everyone thinks you do not have a care in the world. But the pressure is not always easy.”
