Manchester United legend Roy Keane says Aston Villa manager Unai Emery should not be blamed for starting Marcus Rashford ahead of Ollie Watkins in the team’s 2-1 loss to Manchester City on Tuesday.
Recall that Matheus Nunes scored a stoppage-time winner for Manchester City to earn a dramatic victory over Aston Villa that lifts them up to third in the Premier League table.
Reacting to the selection, Keane in a chat with Sky Sport stated that Rashford has a good track records for big games.

“Rashford obviously has a good track record here with United. He’s produced in big games before,” Keane told Sky Sports.
“So, it’s a tough decision for the manager to make. But he’s got vast experience of making these big decisions. When a manager is asked about keeping players happy, that’s not his job.
“A manager’s job is not to keep players happy, it’s to get results. This manager is doing it. And it’s a good option to have in terms of coming off the bench.”
