“He’s strolling around”, “Doesn’t do enough” - Roy Keane slams 2 Manchester United stars after loss against Chelsea

Manchester United icon Roy Keane has blasted Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho after they performed poorly during their 1-0 loss against Chelsea. Keane also admitted he would not fight to keep hold of both players and Rasmus Hojlund following their Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge (May 16).

The Red Devils' poor run of form continued as Marc Cucurella's 71st-minute header ensured Chelsea secured all three points. The former have now lost four out of their last five league games, drawing the other.

Following Manchester United's 1-0 defeat, Keane told Sky Sports (via SPORTbible):

"Mainoo comes on tonight, I watched him closely – he's strolling around, some of his passes were sloppy. Garnacho is immature. He plays in little moments, but he doesn't do enough. "

He added:

"We spoke before the programme - you want players for the big clubs that turn up week in, week out. He doesn't do that. He's got a bit of talent; he makes some good runs and threatens in behind. On his good day, you think, 'I like what I see.' But he's got too many bad days."

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim turned to Garnacho and Mainoo to make an impact off the bench, bringing them on in the 70th and 81st minutes, respectively. However, neither player was able to positively impact the game.

"He's not good enough!" - Roy Keane delivers Rasmus Hojlund verdict following Manchester United's 1-0 loss vs Chelsea

Roy Keane reckons Rasmus Hojlund isn't good enough to be Manchester United's first-choice striker after he struggled to make an impact during their 1-0 defeat against Chelsea.

As per FotMob, Hojlund received a match rating of 5.3 for his performance. The 22-year-old completed 11 passes from an attempted 17 (65 percent accuracy), created zero chances, lost nine duels, and failed to land a shot on target.

From the aforementioned source, Keane added:

"And Hojlund, in his defence, I think he should have been a backup striker, third or fourth choice, and learnt his trade off of two or three brilliant strikers. The fact that when he came to the club he was going to be the main man, he's not good enough! He's obviously lacking in confidence and belief and he's not surrounded by brilliance either."

He continued:

"Hojlund tonight, he looked like the young kid from Chelsea (Tyrique George). He looked like he had just come out of the academy. His runs weren't right, his timing, his hold-up play. Again, if you're a striker playing for Man United... even for the whole team, one shot on target?"

Hojlund has been inconsistent for Manchester United this season, bagging 10 goals and four assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. The Red Devils remain 16th in the PL table with 39 points from 37 games.
