Luckily for the Red Devils, the result was already in the bag thanks to a first-half brace from Romelu Lukaku but Rashford will be well aware of the fact that it was stupid to rise to Bardsley's gamesmanship.
Manager Jose Mourinho's explanation of the incident sums it up as he pointed to the 20-year-old's inexperience as the reason for the sending-off.
"I don’t know what happened. I would say it was naive," Mourinho said after the game.
"It was a kid and a very experienced man. Bardsley’s been in the game for 20 years and Marcus is a naive boy."
United's victory has moved them up to 10th place in the table, with two wins and two defeats this season. They will travel to Watford, who have a 100 per cent record this term, after the international break.Explore more on these topics:
