Manchester United star Marcus Rashford's brother arrested in US on 'domestic violence' charge

The brother of Manchester United and England footballer Marcus Rashford is set to appear in court in the United States after being accused of domestic violence.

Dane Rashford, 31, was arrested in Miami Beach in Florida on October 20. He appeared in court the following day where, ahead of his pre-trial hearing, his bond was set at $1,500 (£1,224), according to police records reported by the Mirror.

His charge was later registered on 24 October as misdemeanour of battery, which was further defined as domestic violence, a report by the Daily Telegraph said.

Dane was pictured in official police arrest photographs after he was brought in. He has also been issued with a pre-trial ‘stay away order’, whereby the court in the state of Florida has declared Dane must not contact the victim.

Florida court documents also reveal Dane’s bond was paid by Chantelle Maynard one week after his arrest. He is no longer in prison after posting bail, while he has pleaded not guilty. Dane faces a further hearing on 27 November.

Assistant State Prosecutor for Miami Dade County Daysi Vega-Mendez told The Telegraph: “The case is still active, at the moment I haven’t been able to get hold of the victim. Our office is trying to get hold of the UK Embassy because we need permission to speak to the victim.

“I am not sure whether they are still in the United States or if they have left the country. I understand they were on vacation. Technically
