Roy Keane believes a change could do Marcus Rashford the “world of good,” as he suspects the forward will never get his hunger back at Manchester United.
The 27-year-old academy product’s future is the subject of widespread speculation after his surprise omission from the Manchester derby was followed by an admission he was ready to leave.
Rashford watched Sunday’s 2-1 win at Manchester City from afar and told journalist Henry Winter on Tuesday that he was “ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”.
Former United captain Keane said, “I don’t mind what he said. I think 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 in there; he’s been at the club since he was a kid.
“A change would probably do him the world of good, for him and his team and his family. Just go and play; maybe go abroad or whatever it might be.”
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Roy Keane shared his concerns:
“I always believe that once you lose that hunger, it’s tough to regain it,” Keane said.
“Forget about the money he’s made over the years—and good for him—but for the great players, it’s never about that. It’s about embracing the next challenge and maintaining pride in your game.
“Marcus seems to have lost his way. If that hunger is truly gone—and we’ve touched on distractions like watches and things off the pitch—it can be really difficult to get it back.
