Former Arsenal player Wilshire admitted to considering retirement

Jack Wilshire admits he has been struggling to find a new club since leaving Bournemouth in the summer and is considering retiring at just 29.

Wilshire has been training at former owner Arsenal in recent months and will continue training until the end of the year.

The midfielder was considered one of the future stars when he broke through at Arsenal under Wenger, but injuries have ruined Wilshire's career.

Wilshire left Arsenal in 2018 to join West Ham, but made just 16 appearances for Hammers in two years.

After leaving West Ham in 2020, he remained a free agent until January 2021, when he signed a short-term contract with Bournemouth until the end of last season. Since then, Wilshire has had no club.

In an interview with BBC Sport, Wilshire admitted he had considered retiring: "I have to think about it. That's why I'm a coach. I was forced to do a little, but I was grateful for the opportunity.

"If you want to continue to be a successful coach or manager, you have to gain as much experience as possible."

However, Wilshire hasn't hung up his boots yet, and he believes he still can't offer something on the pitch, even if it means moving abroad.

"I 100% think I can still play. I don't care what people say or write or what they say on social media. I am an honest person.

"If I thought I couldn't do it, I would be the first to say' enough, I'm going to do something else.'

"But I'm almost to the point where I think different foreign things might be good for me."

Elsewhere, Roy Keane believes there is "something wrong" with United trio Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Jaden Sancho.

"Every case is different and Sancho hasn't been playing a lot lately. I think the problem with Rashford and Greenwood is that whenever they're chosen, it seems like a problem.

"I know they're injured, I understand that, but we know their qualities and when Gareth was asked about them, he said 'yeah, I talked to Marcus...'

'It's like something is wrong with these Manchester United lads.

Keane added: "They are young and hungry, but changing the landscape [with England] could lead to a good world for them and there are negative emotions around Manchester United at the moment and the results are not good.

"There's the idea that they need to save their club and do something on the training ground there.

"I think it's a couple of guys to come here, change the environment, and spend a few more minutes."
