As you would expect, Louis van Gaal is facing the brunt of the criticism after Man United’s disaster showing in the Champions League.
However, the usually caustic Roy Keane is refusing to lay the blame at the manager’s door. Instead he has lambasted the players for letting down themselves and the club.
Speaking on ITV’s Champions League highlights show, Keane suggested that the players were ‘hiding’ behind Van Gaal, and not taking on the responsibility themselves…
The Man United legend singled out former colleague Michael Carrick, and argued that there was a lack of passion, leadership and character in the team…
Keane’s main argument was that managers get far too much credit when a team is doing well, and too much criticism when it is not.
He felt the senior, experienced heads in the United dressing room were letting down their younger teammates…
Definitely food for thought.
