Keane: Manchester United players are physically and mentally weak

However, their misery continued under Amorim, who established his different tactical style of play despite the player’s failure to adjust. Amorim cannot allow the situation to become more embarrassing as United are just three points away from the 17^th position.

Speaking on Sky Sports Super Sunday (via YouTube), Keane shredded the United squad for their physically and mentally weak performance against Newcastle. He said:

“Newcastle were too fast, too powerful, more determined. The pace they had up front, United couldn’t deal with their attacking players and they got what they deserved. Well done Newcastle, they were outstanding but United… this talk before the game about there are good signs, they’re getting better, well I can’t see it and I just saw another poor performance, particularly in the second half and I worry for this group of players, to me they don’t look like a strong group mentally.”

The former United captain has every right to share his anger which many fans agree with. Playing for a club like United requires a lot more than technical quality as pride is always on the line.

However, the current squad players have continuously displayed a lack of desire and conviction to fight for the badge. Furthermore, many of these players arrived at a high price tag and failing to adjust to new tactics is embarrassing.

Many of these players have consumed a lot of United’s finances which has also put them in a bad position. The Red Devils have to sell several players to raise the transfer budget before they could back the new manager.
