Joaquin admission
Manchester United told their 'best in the world' star can help them win the Premier League title
19.02.2023 - 17:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Robbie Keane believes keeping Marcus Rashford fit and firing gives Manchester United hope of a shock Premier League title tilt.
United welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon looking to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal to five points. The Gunners left it late to take three points from Villa Park on Saturday while Manchester City drew at Nottingham Forest.
Key to an outstanding return to action post-World Cup has been Rashford, the 25-year-old enjoying the form of his life in red with 14 goals since flying back from Qatar - more than any other forward in Europe's top five leagues. The forward is scoring decisive goals on a weekly basis, either opening the scoring or netting an eventual winner.

And while United's title chances are slim, five points to make up on a side lacking title race experience isn't entirely out of the question. And Keane believes any chance the Reds do have rests on Rashford's fitness and form.
"They’re quietly going about their business and when you’ve got someone like Marcus Rashford, the form that he’s in, 22 goals, eight assists, for me he’s probably the most in-form striker in world football at the moment, the way he’s playing," Keane told Sky Sports.
"The confidence that he’s showing, if they keep him fit they’ve got every chance, but I agree with Graeme [Souness], Man City and Arsenal, the way they’re playing, I think it’s probably a little bit of a push but in all competitions, flying at the moment, big game for them today against Leicester who are in really good form."
With City and Arsenal still needing to meet, at least one side will drop points in a significant clash while United have played both sides
