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.
