Roy Keane gives his most passionate rant yet about Man Utd following their defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday evening.
The ex-Red Devils player brutally assessed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his side, slamming their performance after they suffered their third home Premier League defeat of the season – leaving them 15th in the Premier League table.
He questioned the commitment of the United team and expressed concern over his former team’s position as manager.
He also described the players as ‘not men’ and criticised Marcus Rashford for his body language throughout the game.
“Ole will lose his job working with these players – that’s what is going to happen.” ?

A furious Keane told Sky Sports: “We spoke before the game about saying being on the front foot, being aggressive, you’re the home team, and there were none of those things.
“On top of all, there was a lack of energy, enthusiasm, a real lack of quality, and that really concerned me in the second half when they were getting in half-decent positions and chasing the match but (there was) no quality. No composure.
“Some of the performances were really poor. Ole must be scratching his head. We kept talking after the Spurs game and whether they turned a corner (after that game). It’s the longest corner ever.”
?”I never looked at a manager in all my career going back to 8 or 9 years of age saying are you going to motivate me, that comes from within”

On Rashford, Keane said: “I looked at Rashford closely today who has had a lot of plaudits over the past few months, and he’s still a young man, but his body language was shocking, really shocking.
“He was shrugging his shoulders when things weren’t going his way. You roll your sleeves up at Manchester United.
“(When) things aren’t going your way, that’s when you look at your leaders and characters.”
Keane added: “I don’t see any leaders out there (at United), right through the whole team from the experienced players.
“You are expected to roll sleeves up, that’s what characters at Man United are about. Like Nobby Stiles, heart of a lion.
“Ole is in management, you have to trust the players because your job relies on the pitch. You’re going to trust those players out there? God help us.”
?”We all have a soft spot for Ole, but he is under no illusion the pressure now will be building, I never thought for one second they would get near Liverpool or City, at this rate they are in no race, they are drifting”

He continued: “Part of football is what you do out of possession. United are not aggressive enough, they aren’t hungry. I don’t see it out there. I don’t see guys I want to be in the trenches with. Guys you trust.
“I’m really worried for Manchester United. There’s a real lack of quality and (there’s) a long long way back for this club.”
Fans reacted as Roy Keane gives his most passionate rant yet about Man Utd…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves a contract extension at Manchester United!
-He speaks like Fergie
-Does not park his car in the manager’s spot out of respect for Fergie
-Returned the wearing of suits on matchdaysI am convinced he will lead United back to the glory days.

When Mourinho said his greatest achievement was to lead this team to 2nd position in the league table, nobody understood him. They poured insults on him. When he won, they criticised him. Lost, they criticised him. Players inspired by Pogba rose against him, they blamed him.

Ole and his tactics didn’t cause the players to misplace 5 yard passes or lose possession over and over again. The commitment, motivation and effort levels of the players was pathetic today. Particularly in the 1st half.

He’s absolutely right, surely a player decides to be motivated and dynamic when playing? Shouldn’t have to have their hands held by the manager

The sooner Ole is gone the better. He keeps dodging the sack everytime. But at the end of the day he’s not good enough.
Tactically outclassed by Arteta. 1 point from 12 at home. Disgrace.

Some of them have looked clueless for 5 years under 2 different managers (one of which being one of the best of all time).

Things I’ve learnt so far:
-Rashford and Pogba is finished
-Man Utd are finishing 15th
– Chelsea is bigger than United
-Pogba is average at best
-Man United?are the new Brexit Ball FC
-Arteta ball is clear of Ole ball
– OLE THE NEXT FERGUSON ?????— . (@ZISPECIALONE__) November 1, 2020
It’s every single thing at the club, from the owners, too not having a director of football to having inexperienced coaching staff with people like Michael Carrick ffs and then we have arguably the worst manager in the league.

Squads definitely good enough to not have this start to the league season. Oles out of his depth
