After her last defeat in the Premier League, the former captain of Manchester United, Roy Keane, has blown up the current squad as a “bluff”, which are “physically and mentally weak” and saved special criticism for Bruno Fernandes.
United lost 14 of her 32 league games this season. They sit 14. In the table, which would be a worst departure since relegation in 1974, while this is guaranteed to be the lowest points of the club in the Premier League era, even if they miraculously win all six remaining games.
At best, United can get 56 points, two less than the current low brand of 58. That came in 2021/22 when the club ended the season under the intermediate of Ralf Rangnick.
Keane, who lifted four trophies of the Premier League as United Skipper and never took third place during a concentrated era of success, routinely criticized the players who are now putting on the famous red shirt. But he was particularly outraged by the 4: 1 defeat on Sunday against Newcastle United.
“We always make excuses for this team” Sky Sport Pandit. “There are not enough players who can run in a team. I don’t think there are players who want to racing. Don’t have enough of a threat to target.
Keane described Newcastle as “outstanding” and increasingly used to winning big games – “they have a really good habit”. But he said “United are the opposite” in a damn judgment.
“I think United is now physically and mentally a weak team,” added that for the Republic of Ireland International.
“Newcastle was too fast, too powerful, more determined. The pace they had in advance could not deal with their attacking players and they received what they deserved.
“This conversation before the game about there are good signs, they get better, I can’t see it and I have just seen another bad performance, especially in the second half. I’m worried about this group of players. For me, they don’t mentally look like a strong group.”
“Now there are only sound bites of him”

Keane has reserved a lot of criticism in Bruno Fernandes in the past few months, a player whom he has made no secret of setting up in terms of leadership or the lack.
Fernandes appeared before that Heaven Cameras full -time and admit that he is frustrated with his teammates because he knows how good they can be. After disappointing results, the Portuguese skipper will often face the media and speak honestly, but Keane suggested that his words are empty.
“It’s just sound bites now,” said the retired legend. “He spoke about his teammates and belief, but what about his right -back, [Diogo] Dalot, who did not attack a leg? I hope he pulls him into the changing room because he keeps talking about believing in his teammates, but really good teammates face each other.
“I am not sure whether this United Group is an honest group. The best players do me. This is what really good teammates do. These are not teammates, they are bluffers.”
