Roy Keane says Marcus Rashford must be 'ashamed' of Manchester United exile

Roy Keane has slammed Marcus Rashford and has told the forward that he must be 'ashamed' as his Manchester United exile shows no signs of ending.

Rashford hasn't played for the club since December, with new boss Ruben Amorim questioning the Englishman's attitude and effort in training.

After last Sunday's game, Amorim suggested that he would rather put his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach on the bench for United ahead of any player who doesn't give their all in a pointed dig at Rashford.

On today's episode of Stick to Football presented by Sky Bet, the gang discussed Rashford's situation and in typical Keane fashion, he pulled no punches when discussing the United attacker.

"I can't get involved in the conversation, I still can't understand at any level. Whatever's going on with players leaving, months left on contracts, a player who doesn't train properly...I don't understand it.

"You might as well leave me out of this conversation. Especially if you think he wants to move, which is more of a reason to train properly so when you go to a new club you're up to speed and when you leave the club at least you showed a decent attitude. He must be ashamed."

Fellow Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney gave his take on the situation and revealed that he had spoken to Rashford about his exile.

"I've spoken to Marcus a couple of times and I've given him my thoughts and feelings that he needs to leave the football club because whatever is going on his life and at Manchester United, he's not the same. For him to have a fresh start, he needs to leave the club."

"I went into Carrington on Sunday to take my kids to game day and Marcus Rashford was out on the training pitch with the fitness coach, but he was right over towards where the parents were walking past for the kids' games.

"I looked at him thinking how embarrassing it must be for him as parents walk past."
