ROY KEANE believes Marcus Rashford will struggle to rediscover his hunger at Manchester United.
And he reckons a "change of scenery" will do the England forward good as he looks to recapture his best form.
The England forward has been spotted at fashion events throughout 2024
New boss Ruben Amorim axed Rashford from the squad for the derby win over Man City at the weekend.
And three days later the 27-year-old sensationally admitted he is ready for a new challenge after spending the last two decades at Old Trafford.
That may happen next month if there is interest but there are no guarantees any clubs will make an acceptable bid.
Keane himself left United in controversial circumstances back in November 2005 and feels Rashford needs a move.
Speaking to the Stick to Football podcast, brought by Sky Bet, he said: "My only warning for players like that - if you lose that hunger, it’s hard to get it back.
"We know that for great players, it’s nothing to do with money - it’s about the next challenge, and your pride.
"Marcus seems to have lost his way, and he’s lost his hunger.
"We’ve mentioned watches and all the stuff off the field, and if he’s a bit distracted by that, it might be hard to get it back.
"He might get it back with a change of club and scenery, but I don’t think he’ll get the hunger back at United."
Keane moved to Celtic after agreeing to leave United 19 years ago and feels it will be best for all parties if Rashford finds a new club.
He added: "I don’t actually mind what he said, although it’s a bit long, but it’s spot on.
"Sometimes a deal just works for everybody - it’s been going on for a year or two now, there’s obviously a bit of talent there and he’s been at the club since he was a kid.
"A change would probably do him a world of good, for him and his team and family to go abroad."
Rashford has been around the United first team for nine years now.
But ex-England forward Ian Wright says it is obvious he is not enjoying it anymore.

Wright told the same podcast: “When you look at how he’s been playing the last few years, he’s not happy. We’ve seen that, with the managers he’s had, different managers and different things going on.
“The fact is, he’s got to a [high] level, and he’s not quite there. I believe that he’s somebody that is continually trying to improve himself.
"Maybe the change, and being a player that’s been brought in and hasn’t come from the academy, he can get himself going.

"His statement is good - he realises that he has to leave United.
"I will always protect him because of what he’s done - especially off the field - and the community will always protect him.
"But for him, there’s only so far you can go where you continue protecting him before he has to go and do it himself.
"It should happen as soon as it can."
