While Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah earned glowing praise for his exceptional form and professionalism, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford came under fire for his recent performances and off-field choices.
Keane’s candid analysis draws attention to the differing trajectories of these two players.
Praise for Mohamed Salah
Roy Keane has heaped praise on Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, highlighting his consistency and professionalism.
Salah, under the guidance of new Liverpool manager Arne Slot, has continued his remarkable form this season. With 10 goals and 10 assists in just 18 appearances, the Egyptian winger has powered Liverpool to the top of the Premier League.
Keane, speaking on Sky Sports, described Salah as a “Rolls-Royce of a player,” applauding his dedication and physical condition. He remarked on Salah’s ability to maintain top form even at the age of 32, attributing his success to his professional approach.
Criticism of Marcus Rashford
In stark contrast, Keane criticized Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, who recently drew fan backlash for attending an NBA game in New York instead of focusing on his struggling form.
Rashford, joined by teammate Casemiro, has faced scrutiny for his off-field decisions, with United legend Gary Neville and manager Ruben Amorim also expressing concerns.
Keane lamented Rashford’s lack of joy and enthusiasm on the pitch, calling for the player to rediscover his love for football. Despite his recent struggles, Keane remains hopeful that Rashford can return to his best under the leadership of Amorim, urging him to recapture the form that once saw him net 30 goals in a season.
