“They’re Not Good Enough To Play For Ten Hag” Roy Keane names two players ‘not good enough’ to play for Manchester United.
At Old Trafford, Brighton defeated Man United 2-1 in their Premier League debut.
Scott and Fred McTominay received harsh criticism from Roy Keane for their involvement in Manchester United’s Premier League loss against Brighton.
After finishing sixth last season and failing to qualify for the Champions League, United hired Erik ten Hag as manager in April. His first competitive match in charge was played on Sunday at Old Trafford against the Seagulls.
With two goals in the first half, Pascal Gross caused the most damage, leaving United with an uphill battle.
After the restart, an own goal gave them a slim chance to salvage a victory.
However, as Brighton finished off the victory, it turned out to be a false foundation in that regard. Fred and McTominay were selected for the engine room as Ten Hag used Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen in places that required more advanced skill as the race to capture Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong continues.
When discussing the double pivot, former United captain turned commentator Keane remarked, “Fred and McTominay’s decision-making and football intelligence are not good enough. I’ve maintained this for a long time. Manchester United won’t return to being a title contender thanks to them.
“We witness it on a weekly basis. They aren’t competent enough.
Eriksen is certainly in his finest position when he goes back and is scooping up players, but [that choice comes] too little too late. They had to take a bet in the second half.
