Marcus Rashford received sharp criticism from Manchester United legend Roy Keane. Keane knows Rashford doesn’t like playing as a centre-forward, but you have to give your best!.
Marcus Rashford has played as a starter in the first two matches of Manchester United in the 2023/2024 Premier League season. Rashford is plotted as a center forward.
As a result, Rashford has not been able to score a goal. Indeed, there is a new centre-forward, namely Rasmus Hojlund, but the player is still struggling to recover from injury.
Roy Keane, a MU legend, knows very well that Marcus Rashford is not happy playing in that position. He said, seen from how Rashford touched the ball and his body gestures.
“He’s like a child when he plays in that position (central striker-ed),” said Keane as quoted by Sky Sports.
“It’s clear he doesn’t like playing in that position and his body language shows it, and by the looks of his touches it’s becoming clearer that he’s not happy,” he added.
“But he has to do a good job, he has to help the team,” said Keane.
Before the season started, Marcus Rashford had revealed that he was indeed more comfortable playing in the winger position. That’s because Rashford can have more time and momentum to run to create opportunities.
“I prefer to play on the left wing, because as a center forward I have very little space to run and score goals,” he explained.
