EPL: Don’t keep them – Keane blasts three Man Utd players after Chelsea defeat

Published

on

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has hit out at three players – Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho – following the  team’s Premier League 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Friday.

Keane also insisted that Man United should not be fighting to keep the three players at the club this summer transfer window.

A second half goal from Marc Cucurella gave the Blues the win against Ruben Amorim’s side at Stamford Bridge.

“They have got no striker,” Keane told Sky Sports. “Hojlund looked like a young kid for Chelsea, he looked like he had come straight out of the academy.”

Asked if Hojlund, Mainoo and Garnacho were players Man United should fight to keep, Keane added: “No. No I wouldn’t. I would not be hanging my hat on them three to get United anywhere.

“Mainoo came on tonight and I watched him closely, he is strolling around, some of his passing was sloppy.

“Garnacho is immature, he plays in little moments but he doesn’t do enough.

“You want players to turn up week in and week out and he doesn’t do that.”

The result leaves Man United in 16th position on the Premier League table with 39 points from 37 games.

They will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final in their next game on Wednesday.

Chelsea are now mathematically out of the Premier League title race.

This follows their 3-0 drubbing in the hands of Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night.

Liam Rosenior’s men came into the match with 48 points, looking to keep pace with the teams in front of them.

However, Beto opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, before adding a second after the break.

Chelsea barely threatened Everton and looked flat for most of the game, before Iliman Ndiaye added a third.

The result means the Blues cannot match the 70 points that league leaders Arsenal currently have with seven matches left.

Champions Liverpool are also on the verge of being mathematically ruled out, as they have 49 points.
