Premier League

Roy Keane and Gary Neville fear Manchester United are still missing a defensive midfielder despite spending big to improve the team this summer. United have finally signed Jadon Sancho from Dortmund in a £72m deal and have also agreed a move for Raphael Varane. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Speaking on Sky Sports’ The Overlap fan debate, Keane said: ‘I still have my doubts with United.

Furious Jack Grealish responds to Roy Keane penalty criticism

EURO 2020

Jack Grealish has hit back at Roy Keane after he accused the England midfielder of not wanting to take a penalty during the Euro 2020 final shootout. The Aston Villa star had been used sparingly by Southgate before the tournament, but was eligible to take a spot kick having been introduced as a substitute at Wembley against Italy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite his seniority in terms of age, Grealish was not in England’s first five penalty takers and it was left to the likes of Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka to try and hold their nerves from the spot. Ultimately, that duo, along with Marcus Rashford, failed to score under the pressure and Keane accused Grealish and Raheem Sterling of shirking their responsibilities as a senior player. He said: ‘...

Neville & Keane point finger at Pogba after France’s Euros exit

EURO 2020

Paul Pogba may have scored a suoerb goal on Tuesday, but neither Roy Keane nor Patrick Vieira were impressed by his overall display as France were beaten by Switzerland on penalties at Euro 2020. The thrilling game finished 3-3 as France, who conceded early but came back into a 3-1 lead, with Pogba curling an outstanding third into the top corner from long range. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, they could not hold on to the lead, with the Swiss scoring twice late on, including an equaliser in the 92nd minute with Pogba failing to track back. ‘No doubt it would be frustrating [to play with Pogba], but this is all part of Paul’s character that people love to see and it’s great,’ Keane told ITV. ‘But then I’d be looking at the goal they conceded ...

Roy Keane compares Man Utd transfer target to Ronaldo after England win

Premier League

Former Manchester United player Roy Keane has compared the Red devils transfer target Jack Grealish to Cristiano Ronaldo. Aston Villa attacker Grealish was included in England’s 26-man squad for Euro 2020 on Tuesday, and produced an outstanding performance in Wednesday’s 1-0 friendly win over Austria. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Speaking after England’s victory – which was inspired by a second-half goal from Bukayo Saka – Keane hailed ‘outstanding’ Grealish and said he could have similar impact for England as Ronaldo does for his national team Portugal. Ronaldo established himself as one of the best players during his time at United, before emerging as an all-time great during a successful spell at Real Madrid. ‘He’s a pure quality player,’ former ...

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The midfielder was replaced by Mason Greenwood shortly after with former United captain Keane condemning his ‘lazy’ and ‘sloppy’ display against the Reds. ‘I know Ole preserves with Fred but I can’t see it,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘How they think Fred is going to get United back to winning titles I don’t know. I know he [Solskjaer] dragged him off but even so it was...

Keane sends message to Solskjaer over Henderson’s Man Utd future

Premier League

Roy Keane says Dean Henderson’s display in Sunday’s derby win demonstrated he is ready to rival David de Gea as Manchester United’s first choice goalkeeper. Henderson returned to United last summer after two good loan spells at Sheffield, but has played second fiddle to De Gea this campaign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With the Spanish keeper returning to his homeland to attend the birth of his daughter, Henderson has been handed the opportunity to stake his claim for a promotion this week. He was Solskjaer for the role he played in helping to preserve a point in Tuesday’s draw against Crystal Palace and retained his place, with De Gea still absent, for Sunday’s derby at the Etihad. Henderson produced another assured performance as the Red devils b...

Roy Keane criticizes Man Utd star over poor display in Man City defeat

Premier League

Roy Keane has said Bruno Fernandes still has to prove he is a ‘top player’ and says the midfielder did not turn up in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City. United lost their fourth semi-final in succession against rivals City at Old Trafford, with goals from John Stones and Fernandinho securing a 2-0 victory for Guardiola's side who will now play Spurs in the final in April. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Although Keane felt the Red devils played well and were outclassed by an excellent City, he believes the onus is on Fernandes to step up in big games to get over the line in their quest to win silverware.
