Manchester United legend Roy Keane has told Marcus Rashford to join a new club after Ruben Amorim excluded him from the matchday squad against Manchester City.
Speaking on a segment on Sky Sports, as relayed by Daily Mirror, Roy Keane told Marcus Rashford that the time had come for him to embark on a new adventure by leaving Manchester United. The club legend’s comments came in the wake of Ruben Amorim’s decision to exclude the under-fire attacker from the matchday squad against Manchester City this past weekend.
Keane said, “A move for Marcus [Rashford] would suit the player – a new challenge for him. He’s been there a long time. When you’re at a big club and your attitude is not right – and it hasn’t been great recently – sometimes it’s good to part ways.”
The Manchester United legend continued, “It is a big call. He [Amorim] has obviously seen something he doesn’t like. But for those who have watched Manchester United recently, it’s not a big surprise because both players have been poor. He has said ‘enough is enough’. It’s a big call, but I like to see it – he has put down a marker.”
Marcus Rashford has endured a dramatic fall from grace in the last 18 months. The Englishman was on top of the world after Erik ten Hag’s debut season, enjoying his best-ever campaign thus at the club level. However, he has struggled to make his mark since the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
While things have improved for the under-fire 27-year-old attacker this season, his tally of seven goals and three assists in 24 appearances across all competitions is sub-par. So, Rashford’s situation has become complicated, with the issue exacerbating after Ruben Amorim excluded him from the matchday squad against Manchester City this past weekend.
Despite Rashford’s struggles and rising speculation, he remains highly sought-after in the market, with recent reports linking him with Bayern Munich and Barcelona. A change of scenery might be beneficial for the English international, whose fortunes have plummeted in the last 18 months.
With Manchester United receptive to bids to sell Rashford, a move abroad might be on the cards for the 27-year-old under-fire star. It will be interesting to see if the Englishman heeds Keane’s suggestion and leaves Manchester United next year.
