Roy Keane remarked that David De Gea looked like he had “had a few drinks” when his error allowed Everton to score in their FA Cup tie with Manchester United.
The Red Devils were a goal up on Friday night when Neal Maupay’s cross from the right squirmed through the goalkeeper’s legs and allowed Conor Coady to level the scores.
United won their third-round tie nonetheless after Coady’s own goal after the break and Marcus Rashford’s late penalty.
But Keane was left baffled by De Gea’s “shocking mistake”.
What is the keeper doing here...?! 👀

“It’s a shocking mistake from an international goalkeeper,” he tells ITV.
“Everton have shown a bit of fight, turned it into a cup tie, but De Gea there is like Carry On Football. Looks as if he’s almost had a few drinks! Shocking mistake.
“It’s almost as if the keeper’s been sent off and an outfield player has gone in goal, and he doesn’t now what to do. A horrendous mistake and it gives a big lift to Everton.”
