Manchester United legend Roy Keane has hit out at his former club in his latest punditry rant, claiming watching Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is “bad for your health”.
Keane has become renowned for his no-holds-barred criticism of United in particular, famously exploding at half-time of their first game back after the coronavirus restart, when he tore into goalkeeper David de Gea and defender Harry Maguire.
On Sunday, it was the turn of midfielder Fred to feel the heat, after the Brazilian gave away the free-kick which allowed James Ward-Prowse to put Southampton 2-0 up in the two sides’ Premier League meeting at St Mary’s.
"I would be more critical of Fred, giving away the free-kick,” Keane said at half-time on Sky Sports. “I wouldn't expect my goalkeeper to be beaten from there.
“But he [Ward-Prowse] is certainly one of the best in Europe with that type of delivery. It was a fantastic set-piece. I would be disappointed with my goalkeeper, but l would be more annoyed with Fred for being so lazy and so sloppy.
"If you look at Fred closely...I've been criticising Fred for years. My eyes don't lie to me.
"That was a really poor decision. Really lazy."
“United have had chances,” he added. "It's not good for your health watching Man United.
"They've given away a couple of bad goals, but there's goals here for them.
"The problem is that you just don't know what you are going to get with this United team. We heard Ole and De Gea say before the game that they need consistency, but they are just not backing it up."
