Roy Keane says that Marcus Rashford must “shame” his behavior with his continued exclusion from Manchester United’s team that shows no sign of choice.
Rashford has not played for more than six weeks with coach Ruben Amorim, saying Sunday that he would prefer to play his 63 -year -old coach than a player with Rashford’s attitude.
Speaking in front of the Europa League game with Steaua Bucharest, the Portuguese reiterated his claim that international England “must change” if he wanted to return to his plans.

And the former captain Keane is embarrassed because Rashford, who claims to want a “new start” away from Old Trafford, does not have any more application in education.
He told The Stick to Football Podcast: “I can’t understand at any level – whatever happens to the leaving players, months left in contracts – a player who does not train properly.
“I don’t understand it. You can also leave me out of this conversation.
“Especially if you think he wants to move, which is more a reason to train properly, so when you go to a new club, you can speed up and when you leave the club at least you showed a decent attitude. It must be ashamed.”
A deliberate business game – Neville
Rashford has just over four days to secure a move in the January window, and Gary Neville believes Amorim’s public criticism is part of a experiment to encourage potential suicides.
Neville said: “I know Ruben Amorim is honest. I think he wants the money back for Marcus Rashford, he said that (for training) to probably shine the light on him and get him out of the club.
“They probably ask Marcus to take a wage cut to leave. They do not want to subsidize salaries because there is no way a new club will pay him these salaries.
“So I suspect it is a brutal blow to him to say that there is no future here for him, that we need him out. I suspect he is a business game as well as a honesty game.”
The subject dominates the press conference before matching
Rashford was not included in the Romanian game team tonight, but Amorim’s press conference in Bucharest again dominated a player thousands of miles away.
The former CP’s former sports boss acknowledged that United would be better with an app and shooting Rashford.
“We are a better team with him, this is clear, but until the right time I will not change my mind,” he said.
“It has to change. If Rashford will change, we are more than happy to have Rashford. We need it. But we have to set standards.
“We are waiting for Marcus if he wants. He is not personal. I have nothing against Mark, but I have to do the same rules for everyone, for me it is so simple.
“We need goals. We need threat to the last third.”
