Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes there are no problems with Marcus Rashford's body language after he scored the opener against Manchester City.
Rashford stunned the home supporters at the Etihad Stadium on eight minutes after unleashing a brilliant strike from 25 yards out which crashed in off the underside of the crossbar. The goal gave United a deserved advantage at the break and came at the best possible moment for the 26-year-old.
This season, Rashford's critics have hit out at the winger's body language claiming he does not show the right desire on the pitch for the shirt. United's winger hit back in an interview with the Player's Tribune where he suggested that those accusations were unfair.

Reflecting on the England international's first half showing against City, Keane praised the forward for what he has seen so far. He told Sky Sports: "It was a brilliant goal, it’s been a brilliant first-half, it’s flown by, chances everywhere.
"Again, City will be disappointed with this. It’s a kick down the pitch from the goalkeeper, a great run from [Scott] McTominay, Bruno [Fernandes] does well and he knocks it back to Rashford. Again, straightforward, it can’t be much simpler than this.
"City with their arms up, McTominay makes a great run which takes the defenders away. Marcus, he’s done it before, world-class finish - there is nothing wrong with his body language today."
Rashford's goal was his sixth of the season and his first in the Premier League since scoring the opener in the 4-3 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
