Roy Keane names 10 Manchester United players he would get rid of

Roy Keane is not one to pull his punches so it comes as no surprise that he would axe almost half of the current Manchester United squad.

We must comprehend that Roy Keane was a United captain that played a massive role in creating an environment of the highest standards. That is why he sounds so disgusted that the standards have dropped significantly in the past 10 years.

United were embarrassed yet again in the Premier League on Saturday as they lost 3-0 at Old Trafford to Bournemouth. It came as another disappointment in what has been a shocking season for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Many thought we had turned a corner after the 2-1 win over Chelsea, but Keane is far from impressed with a large number of the players who are putting in underwhelming performances for United in recent weeks.

During a conversation with Gary Neville on the Stick To Football podcast, Keane named players he would ditch from the current squad – and that list included 10 players.

They were Anthony Martial, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Diogo Dalot, Christian Eriksen, Raphael Varane and Sofyan Amrabat.

Are there any players you agree with Keane on? I can’t find many if I’m being totally honest.

  1. We all know how good Keane is on managing, useless is the word. Like all pundits they make remarks about other players and managers but we’re no good at it them selves. Neville,as manager useless., Redknapp if he Hadn’t married a popular singer no one would have heard about him. So don’t go judging people unless you have done it better yourselves. And the Media should stop paying rediculas money for their opinions. We all have our own.

    1. If the list lacks Rushford then it’s fake.
      Currently Maguire and Victor have the best partnership for Man United.
      I don’t agree with the legend!
      But also ETH lacks tactics that can turn things around yet the players are available on the bench!
      He should be the first to face the axe actually

    2. Keane and Neville may not have glowing success in management but they are spot on. A baby on the breast would see that this team lack CHEMISTRY. The manager should have noted this and try using simple reverse tactics on some ” on and off ” players . Rashford is selfishly under performing on a Sancho agenda. There are some guys getting big salaries and not consistently big . Fan anaiyse this , Harry went to Germany and broke the Euro scoring record , that record was held by one Sancho before Jude Bellingham !!!!

    3. Why can’t he ask to couch the team now that some of the players he mansioned are not good enough. We need to see how far he can go.

    4. Keane is absolutely right if you want good for Manchester United, those players days at the team are long overdue

  2. If the list lacks Rushford then it’s fake.
    Currently Maguire and Victor have the best partnership for Man United.
    I don’t agree with the legend!

    1. I agree 100% met Keane and there one thing that warry me this players don’t respect themselves and ETH. You are not seeing players dress formally in the busses.

      1. I agree with Keane also Rushford and Bruno they are selfish they like to some other players I think coach must try to use Antony Martial as wing than as many man hi play better

  3. Why leave ETH out he us useless,why bench Varane then play Shaw as LB? Useless tactics.Always beefing with players.He buys average players from Eredivisie as if it’s the only avaliable league in the world.Reducing players salaries for what?

  4. I suggest that only ANTHONY MARTIAL should be sold, but for others on the legend’s list i don’t agree with him.

  5. I dot think the problem is with the players
    We a coach who can apply tactics of the particular challenges. The players are all good.The technical staff need to be changed. The Team is to big for them.
    We let go of CR7 blaming him to be the dressing room problem. We are performing worst than when he was at the team.
    Thank you.

    Once ManU always ManU

    1. The problem is the big headed players.They don’t want to follow the coaches instructions and when reprimanded carry on like children and then try to sabotage the manager so that the employers would fire him.Example is slumdog millionaire (Rushford)Since the Sancho saga you can see the conspiracy amongst the buddies

    2. Your saying players are not the issue? Your wrong. His many coaches have been at man utd but they all failed. Before you blame the coaches first analyse the attitude players have when playing matches. 80% of the united players are mid table team players. If u want first class football, u should buy players that can be depended on not the likes of martial, bruno, rashford, etc

  6. Coach lacks tactics. How do you choose LB to CB while there are options, tired Gernacho over fresh Rushford only to be played off position. ETH should style up

  7. Players don’t believe in their selves, don’t have fighting spirit, don’t trust one another to play as a team, others have big headed as they think they are on their own class, unfortunately there’s no kidgloves for them.

  8. Rashfold should makes the list obvious, mrabat let’s give Him more time, Anthony the most talented player at Manchester utd whose talent is being ruined by club’s atmosphere and performance, I think under Klopp or Pep he we can see him differently.

  9. Selfish Rashford, martial, Anthony, varane, sancho,John Evans, Erickson,Amad, to leave united

    Luke shaw, Maguire, Onana, Casemiro, Amrabat, MC Tommy, Dalot, Malicia, Garna, Fernandes,Maino,Mount, Felistri etc to stay.

    1. We sit with Onana that is under performing. We have a second choice goalie that is playing for his country as first choice goalkeeper, but still the coach stick with Onana. The coach must stop having issues with the players, because he have favourites and that’s what makes United weak. Casemiro was one of our best DMs but now he mustn’t play because the coach have a problem. Let go of ETH and get players that will fight for the club like the players of Bournemouth did on Saturday

  10. The manager is to be blamed for the teams poor run. He lacks tactics, always having issues with players. Said CR7 was the problem,he left and the team has gone worse.
    Come on people, can’t you see this manager is going to sink this club to it’s lowest?
    Get rid of him now

  11. Dalot I think is a player that can do the job for us a right attacker in place of the ineffective Antony. Put AWB in as right back. Put Varane next to Harry and put Luke in as a holding midfielder. Surely it can’t go worse with them there.

  12. Maguire and Lindorf are Innocent and should remain since they have tremendously improved. The legend’s list should instead include their Manager ETH

  13. I agree with legend because most of mentioned players are either past beneficiary age or average .
    what I did not agree is leaving ETH out.
    His tatic and judging the game ability is zero.
    He can not change on time, no best elevent players and continuing to Onana even after committing continue erra.
    Greenwood should be brought .

  14. Onana . martial . The sleeping player we bought from Chelsea.sancho. wanbasaka. And other 3 i don’t want to mention. Together with the coach must take their leave. Then Rasford must be asked if he wants to play again. Cos lately I don’t understand him.

  15. Fernando’s Rashford. Rushford trying to play his way out of United with his performances.
    Frtnandes sulks too much got himself sent off won’t be there against Pool some Captain

  16. Rushford and murtial must top the list and they must bring mbape who is able to score more that the two combines

  17. Get rid of Onana,Anthony Marshal,Antony,Ambrat,van Der Beek
    Ten Hag.Get Joshe Morino n a new kéeper.

  18. Manchester united should get a strong midfield players like Casemiro then United can play a more attacking football and the strikers can do their job instead of defending. They also lack quality crosses in the box.

  19. Fernandes and Rashford both should be on the list greedy, sulks when things aren’t going their way.
    Fernandes is not captain material the behaviour towards his team mates and the referees is disgraceful.
