Keane continued

Keane wasn’t done there either.

The 50-year-old, appearing on Sky Sports, blasted United’s stars saying: “There was players there and we’re watching it live, and I’m looking at them getting really frustrated watching it.

“I forgive mistakes, but you’ve got to run back. There’s players, five or six players should never play for United again. Just shameful.

“Shameful that you can’t run back and you can’t put your body on the line.

I forgive the lack of quality against Man City in the second half because Man City are excellent, they’ve been excellent for the last three, four five years they’re a fantastic team. That’s why they’re the champions.

“But Man Utd in a derby match today? The subs coming on, you’re hoping they’ll have an impact. They’re not prepared to run around.

“A couple of the lads in midfield, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Maguire, Rashford when he came on… I could go on.

“Give up four goals, Man City weren’t even at their very best, City didn’t have to be at their best. I think City had another couple of gears to go. I think they just toyed with them a bit like the game at Old Trafford.

“The old saying men vs boys. They gave up. Shame on them.”

He also fumed: “It’s hard when you’re out there and you’re up against a really good team and they’re keeping the ball and you can’t get it back.

“But you’ve got to run back. Tackle. United players have shown quality over the years but we’ve just seen a reflection of where the team is and where the club is.

It’s just so far behind the other teams. Some of the players… there’s ways to lose football matches but the way we saw Man United today…

“You play with your own bit of pride. Whatever’s going on in the dressing room, and we hear noises all the time, and we hear about problems with the new manager maybe coming in and recruitment…

“But your own bit of pride eventually has to kick in at some stage.”
