Roy Keane launches furious Man United and Tottenham Europa League attack - 'It's a disgrace!'
Roy Keane did not hold back on his comments when discussing Manchester United's domestic season
Roy Keane has criticised Manchester United for their handling of this season’s Premier League campaign, calling it 'nothing short of a disgrace'.
United are set for their worst league finish since the 1973/74 season - currently languishing in 16th place in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim's side have only won ten of their 36 games and lost 17.
Despite a disastrous campaign, Manchester United will face Tottenham - who have also had a challenging season - in the Europa League final.
During his habitual appearance on Sky Sports ahead of Friday night's clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Keane did not hold back when addressing his former club's domestic campaign. When asked if there is more pressure on Chelsea ahead of the game, Keane launched into a furious attack on his former club.
"Chelsea have coped with that a few weeks ago when Liverpool came down and had won the league and they turned up and put in a good performance, particularly in the second half with some of their star men turning up," he said.
"That's why everything points to home victories. I agree with Jamie [Redknapp], I think the way United and Spurs have handled their league campaigns and European football is, from United's point of view, I think it's been nothing but a disgrace I really do. The lack of effort in some of the games, they've not put up enough of a fight.
"It's not the Champions League they're not demanding games, they've played lesser opposition, how they've not been able to balance it and cope with the demands of being at a big club, I just don't understand it.
"I really don't get it. But from Chelsea's point of view, you'd be rubbing your hands playing United tonight."
