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.
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.”
“I always think if you lose that hunger, it is hard to get it back,” Keane said on the Stick to Football podcast.
“Forget about the few bob he’s earned over the years – and listen, good for him – but we know, the great players, it’s nothing to do with that.
“It’s about the next challenge, it’s about your pride and Marcus just seems to have definitely lost his way.
“And if he’s lost that real hunger – I know we’ve mentioned watches and all the stuff off the field – if he’s a bit distracted by that, I think sometimes it’s hard to get it back.
“He might get it back with a change. I think there’s a good chance he might get it back with a change of a club and scenery, a new country, a new league, whatever, but I don’t think he’ll get it back at United.”
