Former Manchester United captains Gary Neville and Roy Keane engaged in a lively debate about which striker should be in the starting XI following Marcus Rashford's return from loan, as reported by UTDcondara.
Roy Keane firmly believes that Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha currently deserves a starting spot more than his English counterpart:
Gary Neville: Roy, Rashford is back at Old Trafford. Would you straight away slot him into the starting line-up, or does Cunha keep his place?
Roy Keane: For me, it’s Cunha who starts. He’s earned it. You shouldn’t lose your place just because someone has returned. Rashford needs to fight for his spot again.
Gary Neville: Even with Rashford’s skill?
Roy Keane: No one doubts his talent. But talent alone isn’t enough to secure a position at Manchester United. Cunha delivers results, puts in the hard graft, and gives everything on the pitch.
Gary Neville: So what does Rashford need to do?
Roy Keane: It’s simple. Train well, stay focused, and take his chance when it arises. If he shows he’s back to his best, he will reclaim his place. That’s how competition should work at a club like United.
Gary Neville: So for now?
Roy Keane: Cunha starts. Rashford needs to earn the right to wear that shirt.
