In this round of Premier League matches, Manchester United suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat at home to Liverpool. However, Manchester United legend Roy Keane still firmly believes that the team will be able to finish in the top four of the Premier League by the end of the season. Notably, Manchester United has also made significant investments in the transfer market this summer, but the team’s current performance is far from expectations.
“You can try to sugarcoat it, but Manchester United’s performance was shocking, it was really terrible. This match was entirely dominated by Liverpool. Their attack was both accurate and solid. You could say it was an anomaly, but it is obvious that Manchester United’s performance was indeed disappointing. Every time Liverpool attacked, it seemed like they were likely to score,” Roy Keane harshly criticized Manchester United’s poor performance against Liverpool.
“Manchester United has grand plans for stadium development and club growth… but today’s game completely stripped them of their shine because their performance was so bad. If the match had ended after 60 minutes, I would have been very surprised,” Keane added.
This loss has dropped Manchester United to its lowest position in Premier League history, only managing to secure 3 points in the first three rounds, currently ranking 14th. Despite this, Keane surprisingly insisted that Manchester United would finish in the top four by the end of the season.
“I still believe Manchester United will eventually finish in the top four. This team is strong, with many excellent players. After experiencing initial setbacks, they will rediscover the feeling of victory and become a formidable opponent to title-contending teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, or Liverpool,” Keane said.
On the other hand, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher expressed that he hopes to see Manchester United manager Ten Hag leave his post before the end of the season, as Manchester United once again gave a worrying performance. “I think if no changes are made and Manchester United continues to let this Dutch coach lead, the situation will not improve,” Carragher said in an interview with Sky Sports.
