Keane Slams United

Former Manchester United player Roy Keane has criticized the current United Players, saying that they "look like a bunch of strangers". United evaded FA fourth round elimination after fighting back from a goal down to beat Leicester 2-1 at the Old Trafford.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid struck in the 42nd minute to give Leicester the lead, which prompted boos from the Old Trafford crowd at half-time. It took the red devils 65 minutes to see their first shot on target despite playing at home turf, three minutes before Joshua Zirkzee netted to equal the score.
Harry Maguire headed in a 93rd-minute winner from an offside position which was allowed to stand due to VAR not being in operation.
Keane now says that it's shocking for United to play a game with few shots on target, considering that they had just two against Crystal Palace.

"It's shocking. Really, really poor. No shot on target. They had two on target against Crystal Palace. They're actually boring now.
"You're looking for urgency and energy. The goal sums up United. Giving it away cheaply, people not staying with their runners.From United's point of view, is this what it's come to? Nowhere near good enough," he said.
Keane added that there is a lack of energy and enthusiasm in the team, restating what manager Amorim had said before then.
"Your starting point has to be energy and enthusiasm and then you take it from there. If you've got no energy, it doesn't matter what system you're playing, you won't get near anybody.It's all well and good playing in possession but you have to close people down. Leicester were getting plenty of joy.
"We've seen two bad teams there tonight. Any team with a bit more quality than Leicester would have got the job done. United rode their luck," he added.
