Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane have both questioned Marcus Rashford’s recent suggestions that an “inconsistent environment” contributed to his struggles at Manchester United.
With Rashford no stranger to questions about his own on-field consistency, the Barcelona loanee recently suggested the ever-changing environment at United was not helpful in his bid to reach the next level as one of the world’s top forwards.
Sitting down for , the increasingly outspoken Rooney insisted it was “easy” for Rashford to blame United, arguing there were several incidents during his Old Trafford tenure for which Rashford must take total accountability.
“I think the environment hasn’t been right but that is down to yourself,” he said.
“If you are not playing well or you get left out of the team then I think it is easier to blame the environment and whether that is right or wrong… I think that comes from how you apply yourself.
“In games we have seen with him where we know he can do more, we know he can run more—that is nothing to do with an environment.
“I might be wrong here, I really like Marcus as a lad and as a person but I think that is an easy one to throw at people.”
