Roy Keane dismantles three Man Utd stars in furious rant after Chelsea defeat

Roy Keane was critical of three Manchester United players after the Red Devils' defeat against Chelsea.

On Friday night, Ruben Amorim's men travelled to Stamford Bridge looking to take on Champions League chasing Chelsea in the Premier League.

A late goal from Marc Cucurella sealed a 1-0 win for the hosts, meaning Chelsea stayed in the top five ahead of next week's final match.

Despite being rooted to the bottom half of the table, United can still qualify for next season's Champions League if they manage to win the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.

Speaking after the Chelsea defeat, United legend Keane was asked whether he would 'fight' to keep hold of players like Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.

Keane began: "I wouldn't be hanging my hat on those three to get Man United [back].

"Mainoo comes on tonight, I watched him closely – he's strolling around, some of his passes were sloppy. Garnacho is immature. He plays in little moments, but he doesn't do enough.

"We spoke before the programme - you want players for the big clubs that turn up week in, week out. He doesn't do that. He's got a bit of talent; he makes some good runs and threatens in behind. On his good day, you think, 'I like what I see.' But he's got too many bad days."

He continued: "And Hojlund, in his defence, I think he should have been a backup striker, third or fourth choice, and learnt his trade off of two or three brilliant strikers.


"The fact that when he came to the club he was going to be the main man, he's not good enough! He's obviously lacking in confidence and belief and he's not surrounded by brilliance either.

"The problems we've spoken about at Manchester United all season are still there. Now if people think they can fix that in one summer then it's not going to happen."

Further commenting on Hojlund, Keane said: "Hojlund tonight, he looked like the young kid from Chelsea (Tyrique George).

"He looked like he had just come out of the academy. His runs weren't right, his timing, his hold-up play. Again, if you're a striker playing for Man United... even for the whole team, one shot on target?"
