Roy Keane: 'Man Utd championship is a fiction'

"Man Utd play like school boys," Keane said after Man Utd lost to Tottenham 0-2. "The teams against Man Utd all played too easily. They were like a new Tottenham, completely desperate. This is the worst insult I can give a Man Utd player."

Tottenham have been empty-handed for the past 15 years, and they have always been looked down upon by Man Utd under Alex Ferguson and Keane. Under the new coach Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham played better and won Man Utd in the second round of the Premier League on August 19. Keane thinks Tottenham have changed positively, but he still thinks any team can dominate the current Man Utd.

In the opening match, Man Utd also did not play well, but still won 1-0 at Old Trafford against Wolves. "I've been saying since that game that Man Utd played badly, like there was no leader on the pitch," Keane added. "They played well in the first 30 minutes against Tottenham, but the game is 90 minutes long and they have to maintain the game for that long. Midfielders like Bruno Fernandes or Mason Mount often lose the ball and don't have enough physical strength to recover the claim. ball back".

When asked if Man Utd can compete for the title this season, Keane was surprised and said: "Title? Don't dream. Winning is a fantasy for Man Utd. The team needs a striker of the highest level. Level, can score many goals The side kickers also need to be more efficient. I would love to see how Man Utd train every day, whether it takes too much energy, because on the pitch they don't have a bit of it. What spirit?"

Keane also criticized Marcus Rashford for not being suitable to play as a central striker, and said that the substitution of Anthony Martial was also ineffective. "I'd rather put 60 or 70-year-old strikers in the game than Martial," he added.

Last season, Man Utd also lost the first two games with disappointing performances. In their next game against Nottingham Forest, they could debut striker Rasmus Hojlund, when he is expected to train with his teammates from next week.
