Manchester United legend Roy Keane believes Marcus Rashford has what it takes to be the Red Devils’ main man at Old Trafford.
The Irishman made the remarks during Sky Sports’ post-match coverage after Manchester United defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at the City Ground.
Rashford has the qualities to lead Manchester United, according to Keane, and he has backed him to succeed Ronaldo, who left the club last November after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
“This is the question mark I have had over Marcus the last few years – has he got that personality to step up to the plate? United have had some great strikers over the years – Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole, Mark Hughes, the list goes on and on,” Keane said.
“I think United need someone like that, and I hope Marcus is saying, ‘listen, I want that responsibility to be the main man.”
