In a surprising turn of events, Dane Rashford, the brother of Manchester United’s star striker Marcus Rashford, has been arrested in the United States on a charge of domestic violence. UKNIP has learned that the incident took place in Miami Beach, Florida, and Dane Rashford has been summoned to appear in court to face the allegations.
According to police records, Dane Rashford was arrested on October 20 in Miami Beach. He appeared in court the following day, where a bond for his release ahead of his pre-trial hearing was set at $1,500 (£1,224). The specific charge registered against him is classified as a misdemeanour battery, further defined as domestic violence, and it was officially recorded on October 24.
Dane Rashford, aged 31, holds the position of director at DN May Sports Management, a sports agency that boasts Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford as one of its clients. The family connection adds an unusual dimension to the case.
Court documents from Florida reveal that Dane Rashford’s bond was paid by his sister, Chantelle Maynard, approximately one week after his arrest. Following the payment, he was granted bail and is no longer in detention. He has entered a plea of not guilty and is scheduled to appear for a further hearing on November 27.
In response to the developments, Dane Rashford has chosen to remain silent on the specific details of the case, while Manchester United has declined to comment.
The incident has raised eyebrows and drawn attention to the personal life of the Rashford family, with the legal proceedings in the US still pending. As the case unfolds, it is likely to garner further interest and scrutiny in the coming weeks.
