It would be easy to say now that Manchester United legend Roy Keane isn’t a devotee of Fred and Scott McTominay.
It was obvious to perceive any reason why as the two players didn’t get any praise in an embarrassing 2-4 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford. The way that they couldn’t rule a Merseyside midfield lacking Jordan Henderson is depressing to see.
As per The Metro, Keane has now proceeded to guarantee that United will only compete to win more titles if they change their two midfield players that is McTominay and Fred.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has liked to utilize the United pair in the greatest games this season. While they have had their minutes, it isn’t without disappointment. Keane trusts United will be unable to win prizes as long as the team keeps on playing these two midfield players.
Roy Keane said: “Tonight there wasn’t enough quality. But the other worry is Liverpool could have scored six or seven. We have praised United the past few months but this squad is so short of competing with Man City for the title. I just look at the performance tonight of the two midfielders. McTominay is a good honest player, and they’ve got Fred. As long as those two players are playing in midfield for Manchester United, they will not be winning any big trophies. ‘Okay, they have got the Europa League final in a few weeks. But they are only there because they came up short in the Champions League. ‘The last few days, I can’t believe how short United is.”
Keane accepts their performance on the night displayed the absence of value United had. Liverpool was never pressurized and they were able to control the match very easily. Fred and McTominay have developed a decent partnership and are fair players. Notwithstanding, they do have their inadequacies and miss the mark regarding being named top level.
While they are acceptable players to have, the jury is out on whether United can really win titles with these midfielders. Manchester United has now endured two home defeats on the twist. Having likewise lost Harry Maguire to injury, we can’t bear to lose any more force.
While the Premier League season is well and genuinely finished, we actually have the Europa League final to play. A defeat again will put a lot of pressure on Solksjaer and the players.
