ROY KEANE suggests that moving on from Manchester United could be the most beneficial option for Marcus Rashford after his surprising omission from the derby against City at the Etihad.
The Old Trafford legend Keane believes that “the outlook doesn’t seem promising” for the forward’s future, expressing that his attitude is rightfully under review.

Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were left out of the squad for Sunday’s clash against a struggling City side.
United’s coach Ruben Amorim clarified that he was not “sending a message” with his lineup choices.
However, Amorim did remark: “We assess everything, including training, match performance, and player interactions and motivations.”
Considering all these factors, Keane asserts that Rashford’s absence from the lineup should come as “no shock.”
He commented to Sky Sports: “It will be important to note how they react to the disappointment of being omitted from such a significant match – a decisive choice by the manager, indicating a standard he expects from these players.
“I believe a transfer could greatly benefit Marcus.
“Having been part of the club for many years, seeking a new challenge might be advantageous.”
The former midfield general feels that Rashford’s ongoing issues have been brewing for months.

He concluded: “Regardless of ability, if your attitude falters at a major club, and Rashford’s has not met expectations lately… sometimes, moving on is the best course of action.”
The previous boss of Sunderland and Ipswich acknowledges that leaving a local star out of such a crucial match draws considerable attention.

Keane remarked: “This is a setback for him. We’ve seen this coming.
“Discussions about Marcus have been ongoing for a year or two, particularly regarding his attitude and some off-field matters.
“During the game in Europe, when he was substituted, his demeanor on the bench was revealing, along with other signals.
“With new management and staff at the club, they will definitely pick up on these details.
“This situation will be a hot topic since he has been involved in all previous matches.
“The manager must have noticed something concerning, prompting this decision.
“He (Rashford) may have started with a blank slate under Amorim, but it’s clear he is not pleased with what he has observed.”
