MUFC Don’t Have Enough Runners And Goal Threats – Roy Keane

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has come out to blast the club after they were crushed 4-1 by Newcastle United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, 14 Premier League defeats in one season is simply unacceptable for a club like Manchester United, and there are clearly not enough runners and goal threats in the team.

Keane added that while people have been saying MUFC has been improving, he does not see any improvement.

His words, “It wasn’t good enough in the second half from Manchester United. That’s 14 league defeats now and we keep making excuses for the team. There aren’t enough players that can run in the team and that want to run. They are not enough of a goal threat either. There was talk before the game on there being good signs for Manchester United and that they are getting better, but I can’t see it. I just saw another poor performance, especially in the second half. It’s not good enough and I worry for this group of players. they don’t look like a strong group mentally.

Do they pick and choose their games? Your mindset playing for Man United should be every game is a big game and you go and give your all. You don’t want to be a cup team, you want to turn up week in, week out and compete for the biggest prizes. All we heard before the game was about next Thursday. What about today’s match? Does that mean anything to anybody?”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
