🚨 Roy Keane doesn’t hold back: “I listened to Carrick after the match. Fresh start. Purpose. Good run coming. Brilliant. What about bloody winning a football match? Seven games, one win. That’s Manchester United we’re talking about. And we’re supposed to sit there and be encouraged because the manager thinks he saw some positives? I must have watched a different game. People will say I’m being harsh on Michael. I said it when they gave him the job: I didn’t think he was the right man. I said it when he was winning games, so I’m certainly not changing my mind now because he’s drawn with Leeds. Being a decent fella and having played for the club doesn’t qualify you to manage Manchester United. That’s not how it works. You look at the team. Bruno’s here, Cunha’s there, Mbeumo’s up front. Players being shifted about, and for what? What’s the idea? I don’t mind a manager trying something, but when it’s clearly not working, do your job. Change it. You can’t stand there for 75 minutes watching the same rubbish and then come out talking about a fresh start. And don’t get me started on the players. They’ll be disappointed, apparently. They’ll be hurting. Good. They should be. You’d swear running back, winning tackles and making a simple pass were special achievements now. They’re the basics. You’re being paid to do them. Someone said to me, ‘At least United didn’t lose.’ Jesus Christ. Is that what the club has become? Do United get a point for turning up as well? Leeds get a draw against Manchester United and we’re talking as if United survived some great European side. Then you look across Manchester. City have won seven out of seven. Arsenal are competing. Brighton are selling their best players every summer and still playing better football than United. Brighton! And fair play to them, they’ve got people who know what they’re doing. That’s the embarrassing part. It isn’t luck. They’ve got a plan. At United, every six months it’s a new manager, a new system, a new explanation. The same people upstairs tell you they’ve learned lessons, and six months later we’re having the same bloody conversation. Who’s holding them accountable? They appointed Carrick. They built this squad. They can’t keep hiding behind whoever’s sitting in the dugout. And I know what people will say. ‘Roy, you’re always negative.’ Negative? One win in seven! What would you like me to do, congratulate them? The supporters are spending their money, travelling around the country, watching their rivals fight for titles, and they’re being asked to applaud a draw at Leeds because the manager saw a bit of spirit. I want United to win. I want Carrick to prove me wrong. But he has to earn that. I won’t sit here and lower the standards just because I played with him. If you’re not good enough, you’re not good enough. And if the people running Manchester United think this is acceptable, then they’re an even bigger problem than the manager.”
