Roy Keane discussed the situation surrounding Marcus Rashford after news emerged that Rashford had been completely dropped from the squad. This context focused on his opinions about Rashford’s potential move and the recent issues with team standards, which aligned with Ruben Amorim’s actions to improve standards within the group.
Roy Keane said “I think ultimately, I think there’s been talk over the last few months, I feel probably a move for Marcus definitely would suit the player, a new challenge for him. I don’t know about their long-term future but what is really clear is he [Amorim] mentioned engaging with teammates, standards, so he has given us clues, emphatic clues, as to what has happened in the last few days that they have been moping and not doing their bit around the training ground. Not engaging with their teammates properly and the standards in training and he has thought, ‘no, I am not having it and I am not accepting it’. And good on him. We have been sat here for years as ex-players saying give your absolute all when players are not running back, we have seen Rashford and Garnacho for years stand up on that left and right wing and not chase back when full backs have gone past them yet keep their place in the team. No more.”
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, President of Paris Saint-Germain, had previously spoken about his interest in Rashford, predicting possible actions if Rashford became a free agent. This interaction took place around the time of the 2022 World Cup, highlighting PSG’s longstanding interest.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi said “He’s another player that is really amazing – and for free? To have Rashford for free, every club would definitely run after him. We’re not hiding it, we spoke before and there was interest. But the moment was not a good moment for both sides. Maybe summer, why not? Today, if he’s a free agent, of course, we can talk to him directly but we are not going to talk to him now. Let him focus on the World Cup.”
Fabrizio Romano, providing insight into Manchester United’s discussions regarding Rashford’s future, indicated that no concrete decisions had been made yet for the upcoming January transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano said “For Marcus Rashford, it’s not the first time that we’ve seen this kind of situation. So basically, what’s going on is that Manchester United will talk to the player and let’s see what kind of situation there will be around Marcus Rashford. January is in two weeks, so at the moment, still nothing concrete for the January transfer window.”
