Furious Keane Unleashes Scathing Criticism on Manchester United’s Attitude after Humiliating 7-0 Loss to Liverpool
Roy Keane expressed his anger towards two Manchester United players following their devastating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool FC, citing their negative attitude as the reason for his frustration.
Roy Keane heavily criticized Manchester United’s captain Bruno Fernandes and defender Luke Shaw after the team’s 7-0 loss to Liverpool. Keane was particularly displeased with the players’ attitude, which he believed was a significant factor in their poor performance. Despite being just one goal down at half-time, United were soundly beaten in the second half by Liverpool, with multiple players, including Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino, scoring. Keane’s comments echoed those of fellow pundit Gary Neville, who had also criticized Fernandes’ leadership during the match.
“Fernandes’ body language today was disgraceful,” said Keane, speaking to Sky Sports. “A really talented boy, he’s your captain – so much talent – but the body language, waving his arms around and not running back, you wouldn’t be happy with him in that dressing room, let me tell you.
“United, the senior players were… use all the words, embarrassing. Didn’t show any leadership skills, particularly the senior players. The goals they gave away were shocking. Tough, tough day for United. Thank God I’ve never been part of a team that’s been beaten by that much playing for Manchester United.
“The players will be embarrassed, they’ll no doubt be ashamed of their performance. Particularly the second half when the going got tough, they just went missing. To give up that many goals.
“You’ve got to remember you’ve got top international players, you’ve got World Cup winners. Shaw just, I can’t think what he is doing. A couple of players were having a bad day but look at this (defending from Shaw).
“Again, the senior players for Man United will be – the big players, the ones we give the big build-up to, the experienced players – they’re the ones who have really let the club down today. I always imagined if you got beat in a game like this six or seven nil you’d go into hiding.
“As a player, you’d go into hiding for a few days. I think I’d go missing for a few months, it really is that embarrassing. But that’s the game, they’ve got to bounce back, they’ve got a big European game coming up.”
