Roy Keane slams ‘shocking’ and ‘boring’ Manchester United for first half showing

Roy Keane has put down a 'shocking' and 'boring' Manchester United team for their first half to be shown against Leicester.

The men of Ruben Amorim did not in the first half in Old Trafford in the first half, with the visitors who are in the relegation zone in the Premier League and the break 1-0 in the Bobby de Cordova-Reid strike go .

It was a sequel to what a bad run has been for the Red Devils, who struggled for form since Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag at the end of last year.

They have only scored two goals in their last three Premier League matches, with Rasmus Hojlund without a Premier League goal since the beginning of December but still get the nod on Friday evening.

Kobbie Mainoo played in the front against Crystal Palace, which suggests that Amorim is not quite satisfied with his forward options, but that plan also quickly died.

Former United Captain Keane, meanwhile, talking about ITV 'reporting about the game, did not stop his analysis on his former side.

“It was shocking, really really bad,” Keane started. “They are boring now.

'They have to remind the players in the dressing room what the game is about. There is a goal that ends. No energy, there is no energy in the stadium, they are waiting for something that happens.

'A lack of trust, the urgency, which gives it away cheaply. I just look at it from a united point of view and I think, “My goodness, is this where it is coming?” Nowhere almost good enough. '

The first shot on Doel came in the 68th minute when replacement Joshua Zirkzee arrived after Hojlund's efforts were blocked.

It was two super subs who were responsible for the goal, with Alejandro Garnacho, who came up for debutant Patrick Dorgu during the break and drove ahead in an attempt that led to the goal.

United is 13th in the Premier League, where Amorim stays with its 3-4-3 system despite its early struggles.

Keane, meanwhile, also interviewed the move from Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa after the attacker had left the club.

“It's sad but has been on the cards last year,” said the former captain of Manchester United. “They clearly couldn't get along.

'The strange things is that I thought he would go abroad for a new adventure, but to go to Villa, surprised me. If he has lost the hunger at United, how will he get it in Aston Villa? '
