Manchester United suffered a comfortable defeat against Tottenham, as their midfield trio of Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Bruno Fernandes were outplayed. Scott McTominay was left on the bench despite the midfield struggling. Keane commented, “Manchester United are the new Spurs.”
Bruno Fernandes demands apology from officials for denied penalty in Manchester United’s defeat against Tottenham.
Manchester United suffered a disappointing defeat with goals from Pape Sarr and an own goal by Lisandro Martinez.
In a recent match, Manchester United was denied a penalty in the first half when an opponent’s arm blocked a shot. Despite a VAR review, the referee chose not to award the penalty.
Fernandes references the recent penalty incident at Old Trafford, where Gary O’Neil was given an apology by referees’ boss Jon Moss for not awarding a spot-kick.
“Last week they made a big thing on United not having a penalty against them [Wolves],” said Fernandes.
“I want to see what’s going to happen this week if it’s going to happen the same show they did last week.
“I want to see if Jon Moss also comes to apologise to our dressing room like they said he did to the manager of Wolves.”
Keane’s United verdict: Desperate
“Desperate, absolutely desperate,” thundered Sky Sports’ Roy Keane on the United performance. “The biggest insult I always think about is teams who can’t do it away from home, players who aren’t up for it away from home.
“United go away today…weak, no leadership, gave bad goals away. It’s easy to play against Man United. Man Utd are the new Spurs.”
An unimpressed Keane continued: “The midfield looked lightweight. The six players high up the pitch, when you’re out of possession they’re giving you absolutely nothing. You can always carry one or two maybe in your team who don’t give you much but can be match winners but United are carrying too many players when they’re not really at it.
“I look at (Mason) Mount, Fernandes out of possession, they look like schoolboys. They haven’t got that physicality to get the ball back.
“We’re told Ten Hag is a brilliant coach, well we need to see it. They looked flat. I’d like to know what they’re doing on the training pitch. Are they over training? They don’t look full of energy.”
