Former Manchester United player, Roy Keane and recently
sacked Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, lay into Manchester United
following the English clubs' disappointing 2-0 loss to West Ham on Sunday.
Since the shock away victory over Paris Saint-Germain in
last season’s Champions League, the result which helped Solskjaer to be given
the manager’s job on a permanent basis, United have lost 10 of 19 games,
winning just five, and with key players Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Luke
Shaw absent through injury, Solksjaer's boys lost to a West Ham side who beat
them 3-1 last season.
Keane said he was “saddened” by his former club’s lack of
quality and warned that it would be a “long way back” for United.
“I don’t know where to start,” said Keane to Sky Sports.. “I
knew they weren’t in a great place but I am shocked and saddened by how bad
they are. You can lose a game of football but everything about United was
lacklustre.
“No quality. A lack of desire. A lack of leaders. A lack of
characters. It is a long way back and it is scary just how far they have
fallen.”
Mourinho, who was sacked in December last year and replaced
by Solskjaer, said: “We were bad last season but I do not see any improvements,
even with three new players [Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel Ja
“I have to say they are three new players with a positive
impact. I like these three players and they are bringing some good quality but
the team, as a team, I don’t like at all. I am not surprised by the result and
I don’t think Ole can take any positives from the game.”
Ole Gunnaer Solksjaer, who is now without injured Marcus
Rashford, will be hoping his players Anthony Martial and Greenwood, will be fit
for next week's clash with Arsenal.
