Roy Keane shared his thoughts on Manchester United's performance in their 1-1 draw against Enzo Maresca's Chelsea on Sunday. The legendary United midfielder, now a football pundit for Sky Sports, was not impressed with his former team and had some harsh criticism for the players.
One of the incidents that caught Keane's attention was a challenge by Lisandro Martinez on Chelsea's Cole Palmer. Keane felt that Martinez was lucky to avoid a red card and even went as far as saying that Palmer "made a fool" of him with his skillful play. He also called out Diogo Dalot for his poor performance at Old Trafford.
When asked about the challenge that could have resulted in a red card for Martinez, Keane told Sky Sports, "He's a lucky boy. Honestly." He then went on to praise Palmer's skill and described the tackle as "nasty." He believed that if Martinez had been sent off, there would have been no complaints.
Fellow pundit and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard also weighed in on the incident, stating that he thought it should have been a red card for intention. He pointed out that Martinez did make contact with Palmer and knew he was late with the challenge.
Keane also had strong words for Dalot's wasteful performance, saying, "You have to get hold of these lads." He expressed disappointment in the players' inability to hit the target and convert their chances. He even mentioned the missed opportunity from last week and questioned whether Dalot is really as good as people say he is.
In his overall assessment of United's performance, Keane stated, "There's a long way back for this team." He believed that the team was average and that the stats supported this claim. He criticized their inconsistent performances and lack of goals, stating that they only play for moments and that is not good enough for a United team.
Keane's disappointment with United's performance was evident as he said, "This United team, boring, might be a bit strong." He believed that the team lacked in many areas and that they were not special. He also expressed concern for the lack of goals and their inability to play consistently at a high level.
In conclusion, Keane was not satisfied with United's performance and believed that there was a long way to go for the team to improve. He was disappointed with their inconsistency and lack of goals and urged them to do better in the future.
