Manchester United legend Roy Keane has named an astonishing ten players he would get rid of if he was Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils were embarrassed in the Premier League yesterday as they lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth – a huge disappointment, especially given that it came just a few days after the team seemed to have turned a corner with a 2-1 win at home to Chelsea.
Keane is clearly far from impressed with a large number of the players in this squad, as he responded to questions from his old Man Utd teammate Gary Neville on the Stick To Football podcast.
Neville listed players and asked Keane to give a quick-fire response as to whether he would keep them or let them go, and he responded ‘ditch’ to ten first-team players.
The names Keane said he’d get rid of were Anthony Martial, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Diogo Dalot, Christian Eriksen, Raphael Varane and Sofyan Amrabat.
MUFC fans will surely agree with most of the names on that list, though some might be willing to give a bit more time to young players like Antony and Dalot, while Amrabat is only at the club on loan and hasn’t had much time to settle in yet.
Still, there can be no doubt that it’s time to shift under-performers like Martial and Sancho in particular.
A bit more time for Dalot? He’s been there 5 and a half years.
Dalot is managing to duck the blame for really bad defending. If you analyse his game how can you say he is a top defender? Is he quick, tactically aware, good in the air, strong, good passer, brave? Out of a score of 1-10 with 5 being average would he score anymore than a 5 in any of these mentioned attributes? No
Even Ten Hag should be added on the list.
Agree buys overpriced below average players sack whoever agrees to the purchases too
Shut up you tool.
Agree with sll of them overpaid and underperforming for years one trick showponies too
What about the goalkeeper and rashford and Fernandez all the defenders and most the midfielders it needs a complete clear out they take the money for no effort
How do you expect players to play well when they spend more hours benched than playing. These cm are kids though they played matured games they still needs help at times and the help needed is psychological because of what is expected of them at a very young age by the.coaches, fans, and the retired Manchester players club. This the critical stages for the coach, player, fans, and the old CNN players club, and if not well managed could result to what is happening at Manchester United and nobody seem understanding it’s gravity. Too no much scrutiny on both coach and his players by the fans and past players club. The fans and the past players club dictates how the coach runs his team and players. Their interference is Manchester United player’s demises today. The coach/manager has no control of his players and team selection. The fans do their selection and if the coach /manager fails to honor their selection and he happens losing the game, all the fans bloggers will all discredit the coach and the players that played. In Manchester United it seems the fans and the past players club runs every thing and coach/manager a care taker.
