Roy Keane aimed a dig at Gary Neville for giving Harry Maguire Man of the Match against Aston Villa.

United picked up a third win in a row, with Scott McTominay coming off the bench to bag a late winner for Erik ten Hag's side.

Following Lisandro Martinez's injury, Maguire came back into the team at the heart of the backline alongside Raphael Varane and received the MOTM award after co-commentator Neville made the call.

Opening goalscorer Rasmus Hojlund presented the England international with the gong but Keane didn't quite agree.

Speaking in the Sky Sports studio, Keane claimed that Maguire got the nod from Neville because he is a fellow defender.

He said: "I thought he did alright today, obviously some lads give defenders Man of the Match because they've been defenders themselves - that type of scenario. It was definitely going to be a defender."

Neville then asked who Keane would have given it to instead, leading to him to add: "No big deal about that but we've praised the defenders considered the amount of chances Villa had.

"Winning Man of the Match the bottom line is it's no big deal, what's important for Maguire is he's getting games under his belt and he's getting back up to speed.

"He's a good, solid, experienced defender. The problems are still there for Man United, they got away with it today because the attacking players are scoring goals."

Next up for United is a trip to Luton Town next Sunday as the Red Devils look to continue their fine form.

Maguire praised the character of the team but has called for improvement in the coming weeks.

He told Sky Sports: I think we started well, scored to deservedly lead, and then the tempo of our pressing dropped off and we weren’t aggressive enough. We allowed them back in and we conceded from a set-play, which was really disappointing at a place like this.

"There was great spirit and fight to come back, and Scott [McTominay] is the match-winner again. It’s an amazing feeling but we would like to make it a little more easy for ourselves."
