Manchester United legend, Roy Keane is arrogant and shameful for criticizing Declan Rice, according to West Ham co-owner, David Gold.
After a recent England game that Delcan played in, Keane said, “Where he needs to improve, there are plenty of aspects if you think about it.
“Over the last few months he has had a lot of praise, I worked with him while he was with the Ireland squad.
“Where does he need to improve, where do you want me to start? His positional play I don’t think is consistent enough, he doesn’t stay with runners, he’s sloppy in possession.
“I can go on.”
David believes his comments on the youngster was shocking because Rice is only a young player learning his trade.
He believes Keane could be jealous because Declan dumped Ireland for England.
“Keane needs to get over it [leaving Ireland]. Declan made his choice and I think that is what’s behind it as far as Keane is concerned.
“It’s pretty shameful when a former professional talks the way he did about a young man. It was low, outrageous, unfair and arrogant to pick him out of all the England players.
“It wasn’t even an analysis of the boy who is 20 years old who has barely started his career in the international team for God’s sake.
“This isn’t the first time he’s done it. In a previous game he said he should be sitting in the studio with the pundits rather than being on the pitch. Shocking!
“Declan has chosen to play for England and Roy Keane needs to get over that.”
