Roy Keane Rips Into Man Utd Star With ‘No Presence’ After West Ham Draw
Roy Keane singled out a Manchester United star and called him a 'schoolboy' in a brutal assessment following their draw against West Ham United.
Man United played out a 1-1 draw with West Ham at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The hosts took the lead when Diogo Dalot opened the scoring in the 58th minute but the visitors replied late on through Soungoutou Magassa.
The Red Devils missed the chance to go fifth in the league after conceding in the 83rd minute.

Fans on social media vented their frustration at one player following last night's draw against West Ham, while Keane slammed Mount after he was introduced in the second-half.
The Irishman criticised Mount's cameo in the second-half and labelled him a 'schoolboy' with 'no presence'.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said: "When you look at the squad, considering the money that has been spent, they lack strength in depth. Particularly in the attacking areas.
"When you are trying to see a game off, I look at Mason Mount when he came on, some players take longer to get up to speed but he was like a schoolboy out there.
"You’re looking for players to come on with presence.
"If anything they brought the levels down at United. That seemed to be the case tonight."
Mount has made 11 league appearances this season and scored his team's winner against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Keane also questioned Man United's defence and referenced their defeat to 10-man Everton last month.
"Defensively and in midfield, there are huge questions," he added. "I wouldn’t trust or believe in this team that they can get results.
"The reason you are playing for Man Utd is that you deal with these situations.
"You try and deal better being one up against a team in the bottom three and Everton with 10 men. If you can’t deal with that, how can you deal with being a team in the top of the table?
"If they are anxious, you worry why they are playing for Man Utd and what they are fearful of. Fearful of West Ham, why?"
