Roy Keane savages 'boring' Man Utd players during Leicester win in ITV rant

Roy Keane blasted the Man United players during an ITV rant

Roy Keane didn’t hold back on his assessment of Manchester United during their FA Cup fourth-round victory at home to Leicester City. Ruben Amorim’s side were heavy favourites heading into the clash, with opponents Leicester having struggled in the Premier League this season. But during an uninspiring first-half under the lights, it was the visitors who went into the break with a 1-0 lead.

It came after Wilfred Ndidi’s shot was parried straight into the path of Bobby De Cordova-Reid by Andre Onana, with the Leicester ace nodding into an empty net. United reacted in the second half, with Joshua Zirkzee on hand to tap home an equaliser just after the hour mark. The Red Devils won it in added time when Harry Maguire - who was in an offside position - headed home to send United through to the fifth round and save some face for Amorim and co. Keane’s outburst came when the score was 1-0 to Leicester at half-time, with the former Old Trafford favourite dubbing United “boring”.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid opened the scoring for Leicester

He told ITV Sport: “It’s shocking. Really, really poor. You start looking at this United team, at all the stats, no shot on target, I think two shots on target against Crystal Palace. “They’re actually boring now. You feel like you should go into that dressing room and remind the players what the game is about. “There’s a goal at that end [pointing] you’ve got to put the ball in the back of the net. It’s as if they’re not even aware of it. “Leicester haven’t been that great, but they’ve been a bit sharper and they deserve to be in front. Now we’re looking for another reaction from this United team, nowhere near good enough. There’s no energy, there’s no energy in the stadium.”
