No need for that after such a good game. The miserable sod.Unbelievably harsh comments on Fred. We’re watching the lad play an excellent part in the build-up to the goal he scored, and Keane said “I even expected him to miss that”.

By United standards he was bang average at bestI thought it was harsh, Fred was not poor today.
Ok but what's that got to do with his goal? Fred had a good game today.He wasnt. Hes a midfielder and he knows what hes talking about. Freds use of the ball isnt good enough
He was speaking about Fred and he didnt think he had a good game.(he didnt by a United midfielders standards)Ok but what's that got to do with his goal? Fred had a good game today.
What is United standard these days? The standard at the moment is not the same as peak 2008 SAF United. We haven't won the league since 2013 and have only made top 4 in half of them years.By United standards he was bang average at best
I get where you’re coming from but if Keane’s mentality/charachter wasn’t like this he wouldn’t have been a fraction of the player he was. Think we just have to take it with a pinch of salt and be grateful for everything he’s done for us. He’s just so driven by standards.No need for that after such a good game. The miserable sod.
Have you not seen our midfielders, Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Freds performance was bang average at best. Good bit of play for the goal thoughWhat is United standard these days? The standard at the moment is not the same as peak 2008 SAF United. We haven't won the league since 2013 and have only made top 4 in half of them years.
Fred is a decent player for the present team.
not much to do with the goal but everything to do with his performance as his generally poor ability on the ball was highlighted again throughout the game, pretty much bar the goal.Ok but what's that got to do with his goal? Fred had a good game today.
Keano the banter KingTweet

I am pleasantly surprised at Keane's positive reactions towards the protests. I reckon he's just chuffed at the fact that the United fans are not proving themselves to be the prawn crackers brigade he accused some of them to be.Tweet

He is no longer dead to me.
Yes but they do work most of the time to provide a solid base. To improve on that won’t be as easy as it looks. People want Rice. There would be no obvious jump up in quality in possession with Rice or similar. You’d also need a cultured world class midfielder to dictate play. A top midfield should be our only real target this summer as Greenwood can play right or top and we just haven’t had a top midfield for decades it feels like. From there we can spunk money on the right wing if still needed next summer when our kids might fill it anyway (bought for a ton of cash already).He really doesn't like Fred as a player I think which is a bit harsh but he has a point. We play with two very committed but ultimately pretty average/decent midfielders.
Are you joking? Have you ever watched Rice play? I don't want to seem harsh on your post but Rice can actually pass the ball, he's tall and he can go past people. He seems very comfortable on the ball. No of which I can say about Fred, Rice would be a massive step up from Fred. Are there better options than Rice? Maybe,Yes but they do work most of the time to provide a solid base. To improve on that won’t be as easy as it looks. People want Rice.

I would say depriving Liverpool of CL matters a lot, both for the obvious bragging rights but also for what it would in preventing our biggest rival from competing for the sort of titles (CL) and from signing players (ex. Sancho) who we would like to sign. Basically, this team hadn’t earned the right to be complacent about anything.Typical over reaction from the media, you're either the best in the world or utter garbage these days.
League is over, United are guaranteed CL next season, the only game that matters is the Europa final.
Yes it would be great to play every game like it is a final and be willing to die for the badge but come on the reaction is a bit silly.
48 hours ago Sky were talking about Leicester throwing away the champions league place for next season, then at half time last night they were 'eyeing up 2nd place'.
A misplaced pass and some players would be transfer listed if you paid any attention to pundits.
He was a great buy. But was considered outrageously expensive by some at the time! It was a British transfer record I believe. Can you see the Glazers shelling out for a similar type this summer?I’d give my left nut if we could sign a player who would be as good as prime Keano. Legend
I think the logic is that signing one more effective defensive midfielder, be it Rice or someone else, would allow Pogba to slot inside to do the playmaking.Yes but they do work most of the time to provide a solid base.

Yes but Souness is not seeing the forest for the trees. Supporters are tired of non-football people like Woodward and Arnold being given the responsibility of spending those funds. That, coupled with the owners’ complete communication disconnect with the fans, is what fuels the fans’ hatred, something that existed prior to the ESL fiasco.Hard to disagree with him, even Sourness made some valid points about the money spent last night.
He made one valid point about years of no firm footballing structure and a banker dispensing the cash. Other than that, he has the vibe of an out of touch old geezer on the brink of senility. Painful viewing tbf.Hard to disagree with him, even Sourness made some valid points about the money spent last night.
