EPL: I joined Arsenal at 28 – Ian Wright slams critics of 27-year-old Man United star

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, has slammed Marcus Rashford’s critics.

Rashford’s career at Manchester United seems to be nearing the end after he failed to make his team’s matchday squads in their previous two encounters across competitions.

Rashford has been picked out for criticism after scoring just 7 goals in 24 appearances for the Red Devils.

However, Wright believes the 27-year-old can find his feet once more and succeed in the future.

The ex-Arsenal star wrote on Instagram:

“I got to Arsenal at 28, but you expect ME to write off someone with the ability Marcus has at 27!

“So many of you are desperate to see these young people fail so that you can say you were right! You would take one per cent of the career Marcus has had!”

Wright’s Sky Sports colleague Roy Keane also commented on the situation.

The former Manchester United midfielder believes that the best way to save Rashford’s career is to move away from his current team.

Speaking on the Overlap, he said (via The Sun), Keane said:

“My only warning for players like that – if you lose that hunger, it’s hard to get it back. He might get it back with a change of club and scenery, but I don’t think he’ll get the hunger back at United.”
