Former Red Devils legend Roy Keane, no stranger to strong statements, sent a clear message to Marcus Rashford regarding his role at Manchester United: “Towards the end of his time at United there were obvious problems. He was partly to blame for the environment problem, especially one of United's most experienced players. He should have set the standard and shown the club's new players what it's like to be a Manchester United player. But it is well known. The bottom line is that he now has this chance with England and he deserves it. » Keane recognized the striker's talent and added: “There is no doubt about his talent, he is obviously fantastic. But what would have frustrated fans is his body language: he doesn't run hard enough and doesn't press hard enough. »
For his part, Rashford explained his difficulties at United: “Regularity is an essential factor. I feel like I've been living in an unstable environment for a very long time, which makes consistency even more difficult. » Thomas Tuchel, his current coach with England, stressed that the striker only needed ” consistency “ to become a world-class player. For his part, Keane ended up declaring: “If you're part of the environment and you're causing problems for the club by being late and not being a top player, then you're contributing to the problem. It needs to mature a little. He's 27, so he's got plenty of time and I don't blame him for another chance. » The message has gotten through, but Rashford, who is impressing in Spain, at Barça, should not worry about it.
