Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has come out to say MUFC players were average vs Ipswich. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, so many teams are ahead of MUFC in the league right now, and there is clearly a long way to go for the club to even qualify for the UCL.
Keane added that as long as the same players remain at Manchester United, the club will have the same problems.
His words, “Man United, at this moment in time whatever the problems are, are an average Premier League team. So many teams are way ahead of them. There’s a long way to go for this United team.
Huge job for the manager, huge job. And, again, we keep saying it but listen, hopefully they get it sorted.
You still have the same players out there. The same problems. We talk about leopards and spots, the issue with United over the last couple of years. Lack of goals, lack of quality. We’re looking at Ipswich who haven’t won all season at home and they look the better team. If any team was gonna win you felt Ipswich were.
Do I believe this group of players have the quality to get United back to top four or five? Absolutely not. The evidence just isn’t there. Once the game starts it’s the same old stuff.”
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, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
