Keane worried about United's attitude

Roy Keane is a tough critic and always seems to be displeased. Despite the win on Sunday, he shared a reason he was worried about the team going forward.

He stated Erik ten Hag would be very disappointed with a team he described as 'so poor it was unbelievable'.

‘"[Man United] found a way in the previous [FA Cup] games. Today was just self-destruction from Fulham. You need a bit of luck and they’ve certainly had their fair share this season,’’ he said on ITV, as quoted by Metro UK.

Keane admitted he had lost confidence watching United in recent matches.

"In the last few games, they’ve picked up some bad habits. If they turn up with that attitude in the semi-final, Brighton will beat them. Hopefully, the manager gives them a bit of a kick up the back-side,’’ he added.

Erik ten Hag's verdict

Speaking to reporters after the match, as quoted by Mirror UK, United boss ten Hag pointed out where his team could have done better despite the win.

“In possession, we could have been better. Out of possession, we were excellent. We came under pressure, gave away some set pieces and then conceded the goal. David de Gea kept us in the game after we conceded,” the Dutch coach said.
