Rasford was an unused substitute for United’s 3-0 win over Brentford at Old Trafford – a game in which Ronaldo was the player of the match after scoring his 18th Premier League goal of the season on penalties. “The [Ronaldo’s signing] was a short-term solution, for the fans, for the share price. “But he has still scored the goals,” Keane told Monday Night Football. “Manchester United has bigger problems than Cristiano Ronaldo. “I just think that with the goals he has, his appearances, the guarantees of staying at the club. But Manchester United have to get players close to him, they have to get other strikers, there has to be competition for places. “If the top scorer, the man you rely on, is 37 years old, that’s definitely not good, but I would definitely keep Ronaldo.

But why get rid of a player who scores so many goals? Do not see the logic in that.” Jamie Carragher suggested to Keane on Monday Night Football that Ronaldo’s personality can make it harder to keep him close if he does not start every game.

There Ronaldo has to be more mature and a better leader. “Of course you are disappointed when you leave, but do not continue for a day or two, there you have to clarify this maturity.

“Rasford lost the tiger’s eye”

The 24-year-old should be nearing his peak, but his form has dropped with Anthony Elanga and Juan Mata preferring over Brentford. “Whether it’s a lack of confidence, we’ve seen its quality in the past, but we haven’t seen it in a year or two,” Keane said. “I think he has taken his eye off the ball, whatever it is [it is] with his off-field stuff. Rasford has been around for a few years, has this experience and has played international football.

We saw some games recently, when he was playing in Liverpool from the middle, I said he was playing as a kid. “It’s like he didn’t learn about the game. He’s drifting. He lost his hunger. These young players have a lot of money and good luck, but I think he lost the tiger’s eye and is struggling to get it back. “Wherever Manchester United want to go, Marcus stays behind. He stayed out again tonight and has to sit on the bench and go ‘where did everything go wrong for me?’ sometimes when you lose it, it’s hard to get it back. “He has to bring the hunger back into his game and make the journeys as we have seen tonight from Elanga. Rashford lost this part of the hunger, which is huge for a player. It is talent, but we do not see it.”
