Manchester United legend Roy Keane is worried Marcus Rashford risks not securing a regular starting berth for club and country if he doesn't prioritise certain areas of his game.
While Rashford's versatility is a useful asset, Keane is concerned that it could be a detriment to his desire to become the main man and issued a stark warning.
“The only issue I have with Rashford, I think it's great for any young player to ply his trade playing a few different positions, but what he has to become wary of is becoming a jack of all trades but a master of none. That's a worry for Rashford," he told ITV.
“It's up to the player himself to give Ole a headache, to say he wants to be the main striker. Between the two players, I think he'd get more goals than Rashford.”
That sentiment was echoed by former England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright, who believes he needs to make his mark - just like he did in the second half of the recent win against Bulgaria.
Wright added: “It seems like with his club and with his country, especially with Harry Kane there, he's got to try and make his mark. He's got some very good players challenging for that position and now we're going to see Jadon Sancho come in.
“I thought in the first half against Bulgaria, he didn't quite get into it as quickly as he could have. I know he's working hard on that part of his game to find consistency but the second half he came out and he was fantastic. It's good competition for him.”

Roy take a long vacation.
in my opinion manchester United has become a social media club. every day x players trying to beat them down. Ole trying to fix problems but owners reluctant to back him to the hilt

Roy like Ince was never team players always had their own agendas. Ferguson always had to try to keep them in line.

For me if you have a coach in the form of Ole l mean a former striker like himself and you are not learning or moving forward then there is a question with the mentality

at 21 the lad is doing well.. he is only gonna improve.. he always puts in a good shift for country and we know why every player in United is underperforming , the midfield which is the engine is weak and until that is fixed no matter how much United spend s on forwards and defend era the result will be same.
if it's so then let him be bench and no select for National for few match.. coz he just 21 and improving and shouldn't think for national to much

looking at the games in three international break, the city players were much better than Rashford. Bernardo and Sterling both created superb chances when their passing,Rashford is always stuck between whether he shoots or passes and loses theball

Rashford already has the ego of an accomplished star and that would be his undoing. I have found out that no matter how talented you are, if your character and attitude is off, you'll never hit the high mark. Rashford needs to have more humility in his game. When he stops playing for himself and starts playing for the team then he will truly shine.
he's too focused.. he's got a nice game and it's actually exciting watching him play..he should just relax and play a simple game and everything would work out on its own..all the best Rashy

Only thing Rashford has to do is believe in himself, improves as a forward, scores like CR7 and he can be......we know that!

i don't buy one bit some views of my fellow United fans when u read em, they made u think rashy is a trashy of a player while the fact is it quite the opposite if anything its, he has set his standard that high and it is now used against him, guys how many kids at 21 archieved what rashy has archieved? u can count em by one hand (go look at the numbers/facts) he is still learning the ropes, its not his fault that he has to bare the burden of carrying the expectations of a huge club like ours at such a tender age its a result of years of lack of management, ur angers frustrations are mislocated to me rashy is the biggest talent to emerge in the academy since pogba, apart from pogba i would say since the class of 92, he is that good! some of the mistakes he makes are to be expected! he is not yet a seasons operator that can guarantee u consistency
Ammm 🤔 sorry but can you repeat that again because i missed it the first time. Speak a little slower please, thanks

Rashford scores goals though I see nothing unique in him if he doesn't improve on his skills and creativity he might end up dying a natural death in football
