Roy Keane horrified by Manchester United statistic and admits 'the jury is still out' on Erik ten Hag

Manchester United legend Roy Keane was horrified by a Red Devils statistic and pointed the finger at Erik ten Hag.

Phil Foden inspired city ​​of manchester to a 3-1 victory at the Etihad over United on Sunday afternoon despite Mark Rashford putting visitors to the front with an impressive blow.

However, that was United's only bright moment as City largely controlled the entire match and eventually took the lead. two wonderful goals from Foden before Erling Haaland added a late third.

Ten Hag has already tasted defeat 11 times this season in the Premier League; Only in 2013-14 and 2021-22 (both 12) did they suffer more in a single campaign in the competition.

And that has left Keane furious with 11 Premier League games remaining.

“I can't be too hard on manchester united “Today as City he was just brilliant,” Keane said on Sky Sports.

“They showed why they are champions. There are already 11 league defeats for United.

“That's a scary statistic and what City do is find out all your deficiencies.

“When you're in that field and it's difficult, there's no place to hide. It's like in boxing.

“City wore them down and wore them down. United had to take off Jonny (Evans) after about 60 minutes.

“They had to change the back four and they held on anyway.

“There is still a question mark over where this United team is heading.

“In the last 25 minutes they couldn't get close to City, who played with them.

“In the end it was men against boys and they just held on. Towards the end, you think there might be four or five.

“There are still doubts about this team and, unfortunately, about the coach.”

United's defeat keeps them in sixth place, but a top-four place looks increasingly unlikely as fourth-placed Aston Villa 11 points ahead.

And Ten Hag must resolve his attacking woes soon, as his efforts in front of goal remain worrying.

While Rashford scored a beauty, they only managed three shots in total against City; only once have they registered fewer since the Premier League, when they managed just two against City. Liverpool in April 2022.
