Roy Keane leaves no one indifferent every time he speaks. Both he and Gary Neville, two former leaders of the ‘Red Devils’, have criticized the players, who consider too mediocre to represent the Manchester United institution. They have not known the victory for a month, when they beat Leicester at the King Power Stadium. Yesterday, in St. James Park, they fell defeated by a forceful 4-1 against Newcastle.
The template is very poor … except Bruno Fernandes and maybe amad diallo

Three days before, in front of Lyon, they tied two with a Cheki goal in the 95 ‘minute. That day, it seemed that they would be victorious to face the second leg … nothing is further from reality. Gary Neville criticized the template after this draw: “It is a truly desperate situation. The template is very poor, except Bruno Fernandes and perhaps amad diallo.”
And he continued to say that the players are well below the level and quality demanded by the Mancunian club: “Manchester United teams have been in the last five, six, seven years in which one believed that they had very talented players, but they did not give everything. The problem with this group of players is that they give everything and does not reach them.”

A weak and mentally weak team
Roy Keane was also hard with Manchester United, which occupies the fourteenth put in the table. You are already guaranteed to end the season with the total lowest points of its history in the Premier. He pointed directly to the board: “In the last two years, he has consisted of bringing players who have never played in the Premier League.”
He exempts a little responsibility for coach Ruben Amorim: “I think he arrived and should have been surprised by how bad this group of players is. Manchester United is a weak and mentally weak team.”

Since the Portuguese took over the club, only Southampton (59), Tottenham (53) and Leicester (53) have received more goals in all competitions than Manchester United (48) among the Premier League teams.
