Roy Keane did not hold back in his criticism of his former club Manchester United after their 2-0 home defeat to rivals Manchester City.

Keane joined Sky Sports as a pundit for the Manchester Derby, and it may come as no surprise, but he pulled no punches when talking about the club he once captained.
Manchester City’s 2-0 win at Old Trafford puts them in the driving seat in the title race, but United’s top-four hopes suffered a hit with the defeat.
“It was an easy night for City – they’ll be sitting in that dressing room thinking how comfortable that was. United never got going after half-time,” said Keane.
Keane took aim at Paul Pogba before kick-off, and he didn’t stop with the Frenchman. The former midfielder thought defender Matteo Darmian was partly to blame for City’s second goal and he let his former team-mate Gary Neville know about it, too.
Darmian came in for even more stick shortly after, though thankfully for Neville, Keane seemed to have cooled down somewhat.
In his criticism of United, Keane was quite clear that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has it all to do in the summer, and that the Norwegian must make a number of signings at the club.
All we know is that Sky Sports must sign up Keane, because we need more eye rolls, arguments and blood-curdling facts on our TV screens.
