Marcus Rashford has scored only two goals after a sensational last season. This has led to opinions that his performances have dropped off after getting a new contract. Roy Keane gave his opinion on the situation. He said, “I’m not sure about Marcus [Rashford]. The whole package—his personality, his mood swings. He’s a talented player, but if you’re not going to work hard and he’s having these dips now and again, there’s all this talk about his confidence and off-the-field stuff. Just turn up every week and do the business. Marcus is 26. When’s the penny going to drop for him?”
