Roy Keane rips into Man United ’embarrassing’ senior players who ‘let club down’
Roy Keane fired a stinging rant at Manchester United’s senior players who ‘let the club down’ after their heartbreaking 7-0 loss at Liverpool.
As Jurgen Klopp’s squad destroyed United, Liverpool’s win against the Red Devils was their biggest ever in a competitive game.
United’s defeat ranks alongside defeats to Wolves (7-0), Aston Villa (30-0), and Blackburn (1926) as their joint-heaviest in a competitive game.
Keane, a great United player, expressed his rage at his previous team’s performances and threatened to hide if they beat him 6-0 or 7-0. I would temporarily vanish. That is quite embarrassing.
a perplexing day. The goal came just before halftime, and the game was over.
The more experienced players were embarrassing and lacked leadership skills. They suddenly gave goals away. United had a challenging day.
Thank God, I never played for a Manchester United squad that suffered such a lopsided defeat.
The athletes will feel embarrassed of themselves and degraded. They vanished when things grew harder.
The coach remarked, “When you’re down two goals like that, you’ve got to show some kind of dignity, fight, and passion, and they didn’t demonstrate any of it.
I never thought United was operating at their best. They have produced some fantastic results. Teams have been given opportunities, notably Leicester and West Ham at home. These have been cleared by teams.
Instead of excusing them for their misdeeds, Liverpool punished them. They deserve praise for being present. They were cruel and icy. They persevered and looked for fresh goals.
The coach added, “The elder guys let the team down tonight.
United will need to rest up in order to be ready for their Europa League round of 16 matchup against Real Betis on Thursday.
🗣️ “If you lose 7-0 you’d go into hiding, never mind for a few days I think I’d go missing for a few months it really is that embarrassing for the players.”
