Roy Keane slams ‘physically and mentally weak’ Man Utd stars after Newcastle defeat
Roy Keane brande Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United ‘physically and mentally weak’ after the side slumpe to a dismal 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle.
Alejandro Garnacho dragge the Red Devils back into the contest with a cool แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ finish in the 37th minute, cancelling out Sandro Tonali’s opener with his first goal in three Premier League games.
But hosts Newcastle responde emphatically in the second half, with Harvey Barnes completing a 15-minute brace and Bruno Guimaraes capitalising on an Altay Bayindır howler in a resounding victory at St James’ Park.
It means United are now without a win in their last four matches in all competitions and the result leaves Amorim’s men stuck down in 14th place in the English top flight, just 17 points above the drop zone.
The humbling loss confirms that United will finish with their lowest ever Premier League points tally, even if they win every single game from now until the end of the season.
‘Not good enough. That’s 14 league games they’ve lost now,’ former United captain Keane said on shortly after the final whistle.
‘They keep making excuses for this team. There’s not enough players who can run in this team, I don’t think there are players who want to run, nothing by way of a goal threat.
‘You’ve got to dig deep even when you’re up against it and they didn’t do that in the second half.
‘We spoke at half-time, the big test was to come in the second half. Look at Newcastle, Newcastle were outstanding, they’re use to winning big games, they’ve got in a really good habit.
‘United are the opposite. I think United now are physically and mentally a weak team.’
Keane argue that the Magpies – who were without their manager Eddie Howe – outperforme United in practically every department and were more than deserving of all three points.
He added: ‘Newcastle were too fast, too powerful, they were more determine. The pace up front, United couldn’t deal with their attacking players and they got what they deserve.
‘Well done Newcastle, they were outstanding.’
