‘There is no team at Man Utd’: Roy Keane’s blast on the player who ‘should have left two years ago’

Manchester United fell to a 4-0 defeat to rivals Liverpool on Tuesday evening, leaving the club sixth in the league, with five games remaining this season.

The Red Devils were dominated by Jurgen Klopp’s side and registered just one shot on target throughout the game.

Their performance was criticised by fans and pundits, no more so than former captain Roy Keane.

The ex-United midfielder was on pundit duty for the fixture and expressed the ‘sadness’ he feels when watching the club’s current team.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said:“It’s not anger, now I think it’s just sadness. You look at the United team, there’s no heart, no soul, no leaders.

“They are so far off. You look at the United fans tonight, there’s no surprise at the scoreline. They kept going until the end, but you just felt Liverpool could score every time they went forward.

“There’s just disarray at the club from the top, the board, the fans have no time for the owners. They need a new manager. They need players in, they need players out.

“It’s so sad to see and it’s not the club I played for. It’s chalk and cheese. I don’t see a Manchester United team out there fighting and playing with pride.”

Keane, who made 480 appearances for the Red Devils, went on to mention how the current crop of United players are individuals and have no ‘team spirit’ - this coming after Bruno Fernandes’ post-match apology.

Keane added: “We’re hearing the same stuff all the time – ‘We need to be a team, we need to do better’. But we’re not seeing it. There is no team at Man United.

“They are individuals and when they fancy it they turn up. But when the going gets tough they’re out of it. They haven’t got the team spirit.

“This Man United team is well short of talent anyway. They’re not as talented as they think. Look at the midfield tonight. Rashford’s performance up front…

“Jesse Lingard comes on to try and save Man United? Jesse Lingard should have left two years ago. He’s not good enough for Man United. Rashford played like a child up front.

“Defensively? We were trying to help out Maguire before the match, give him a bit of PR. But the last goal? Maguire’s passing and defending, not acceptable and not good enough for Man United.”

The Red Devils face a tough task to secure a top four spot this campaign after this defeat, with fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur having a game in hand ov them, while Arsenal, who sit fifth, have two.
