It is possible Rashford got on at a different station but the rest of United's squad were at Stockport and the expectation is the forward will not be involved when Ruben Amorim's side look to seal a semi-final spot.
It is not known whether Rashford has been disciplined by Amorim for the interview on Tuesday in which he said he was 'ready for a new challenge'.
Asked about the interview ahead of the game, Amorim said he would have probably sought out the manager first if he had a problem during his playing days.
"It's a hard situation to comment [on]," he said. "If I give a lot of importance it will have big headlines in the papers and if I say it's not a problem then my standards are getting low."
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford told football writer Henry Winter:, external "It's disheartening to be left out of a derby, but it's happened, we won the game so let's move on. It's disappointing but I'm also someone, as I've got older, I can deal with setbacks. What am I going to do about it? Sit there and cry about it, or do my best the next time I'm available."
He added: "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.
"When I leave it's going to be 'no hard feelings'. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That's me as a person.
"If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse. I've seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave I'll make a statement and it will be from me."
