Dane Rashford’s Domestic Violence c Dismissed

After being detained in Miami, Dane Rashford, the brother of Manchester United star Marcus, got the domestic charge against him dismissed.

On October 20, in Miami Beach, Florida, Dane, a registered agent with the Football Association, was taken into custody. He was charged on October 24 for domestic abuse. But according to Alex Spiro, Rashford’s attorney, the allegation was “dismissed” before it even got to court, as reported by The Telegraph. Spiro stated that there had been a “misunderstanding” that led to his client’s arrest and charges.

He said: “There have been numerous reports about Dane Rashford, the brother of Manchester United and England footballer, Marcus Rashford, being arrested in Florida last year. We want to make it very clear that the charges were quickly dismissed and Mr Rashford did not even have to appear in court. He and his partner are pleased that this misunderstanding is now firmly behind them.”

The 31-year-old is a director of DN May Sports Management, a company that represents the Manchester United forward. Though he is also registered as an FA agent and appears on the official FA documentation for Marcus’s previous contracts with the team, Dwaine Maynard, Marcus’s brother, manages him.

Dane Rashford declined to comment when he was approached about the circumstances of the case at the time. United has declined to comment on the circumstances as well. The Rashford family is understood to have believed the matter has been resolved.
