Manchester United legend Roy Keane has weighed in on Marcus Rashford’s uncertain future, suggesting the forward might rediscover his form and “hunger” by moving abroad. Rashford’s position at United has grown increasingly tenuous under new manager Ruben Amorim, leaving fans and pundits alike speculating about the next chapter in the star’s career.

Once a cornerstone of the squad, Rashford’s fortunes have plummeted. After a promising start under Amorim, he was shockingly omitted from the matchday squad against Manchester City. The decision reportedly stemmed from Amorim’s dissatisfaction with the Englishman’s training efforts. The snub was a stark reminder of Rashford’s precarious standing at the club, further amplified by recent reports that United are now open to offers for their homegrown talisman.

Rashford has since spoken out, expressing his readiness for a “new challenge.” In a candid interview with journalist Henry Winter, the 27-year-old hinted at a potential departure, saying his focus is on what’s best for his future. These revelations have only fueled speculation, with Keane adding his voice to the growing chorus of opinions.

The former United captain, never one to mince words, offered a pragmatic assessment of Rashford’s situation during a recent appearance on the Stick to Football podcast. Keane remarked that a move away from Old Trafford could rejuvenate Rashford’s career and reignite the fire that once made him one of England’s most promising forwards. “A change would probably do him the world of good,” Keane noted. “For him, his team, and his family, just go and play—maybe abroad or wherever it might be.”

Keane also criticized Rashford’s perceived lack of determination, lamenting the loss of the “hunger” that defined his early years. According to the Irishman, remaining at Manchester United may not offer the environment Rashford needs to reclaim his best form.

The situation has created tension between Rashford and Amorim. The Portuguese manager publicly criticized Rashford’s recent interview, suggesting that such matters should have been addressed privately. Despite the friction, Amorim remains vocal about his desire to keep the player at the club. He has encouraged Rashford to embrace new challenges and prove his worth at Old Trafford, but the cracks in their relationship are evident.

As Rashford sits out yet another crucial game—this time against Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup—the uncertainty surrounding his future grows. For a player who has been part of Manchester United since his childhood, the prospect of leaving the Theatre of Dreams may seem daunting. Yet, as Keane and others have pointed out, it might be exactly what Rashford needs to revive his career.

With the January transfer window looming, all eyes will be on Rashford and Manchester United. Will he heed Keane’s advice and seek a fresh start abroad, or can he salvage his United legacy under Amorim’s guidance? The coming weeks promise to be pivotal for both player and club as the Rashford saga unfolds.
