Roy Keane has sent a warning to Marcus Rashford as the Manchester United star eyes an exit from Old Trafford. He believes that the Englishman seems to have lost his way and added that the forward is distracted.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Stick to Football, Keane stated that a change would do ‘a world of good’ for Rashford as he has lost his hunger at Manchester United. He added that the striker needs to get back to his best.
Keane said via Metro:
“I don’t actually mind what he said, it’s spot on. Sometimes a deal just works for everybody – it’s been going on for a year or two now. There’s obviously a bit of talent there and he’s been at the club since he was a kid. A change would probably do him a world of good, for him and his team and family to go abroad. My only warning for players like that – he [Marcus Rashford] has all those traits as a footballer.”
“If you lose that hunger, it’s hard to get it back. We know that for great players, it’s nothing to do with money – it’s about the next challenge, and your pride. Marcus seems to have lost his way, and he’s lost his hunger. We’ve mentioned watches and all the stuff off the field, and if he’s a bit distracted by that, it might be hard to get it back. He might get it back with a change of club and scenery, but I don’t think he’ll get the hunger back at United,” he added.
Marcus Rashford was left out of the Manchester United squad for the Manchester Derby. He has not been called out of the Tottenham clash in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals on Thursday.
Marcus Rashford hints at Manchester United exit
Marcus Rashford spoke to Henry Winter earlier this week and hinted that he was open to an exit from Manchester United. He stated that he will not be leaving on a bad note and will send out a statement when it is time.
He said:
“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.”
Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Real Madrid have been linked with a move for Marcus Rashford. Saudi Pro League sides are also keeping tabs on the star English forward.
