“I respect that. I’m sorry to say this but I don’t see Manchester United doing this. ” – Roy Keane expresses astonishment at the “remarkable” action taken by Manchester City recently as throws criticism towards his former club Manchester United.

Roy Keane has expressed his admiration for Manchester City’s style of play.

Following Pep Guardiola’s team securing a 3-1 victory in their recent Champions League fixture against Copenhagen on the road, this prompted a particular group of pundits to discuss whether City’s dominance has made their European matches less entertaining to watch.

Nevertheless, a prominent pundit stepped in to defend City against these specific criticisms.

Keane asserts that City’s matches are not dull to watch.

In a recent segment of Stick To Football, Keane offered his perspective on the notion that City’s style of play is boring.

He remarked, “I definitely wouldn’t concur with fans who claim that City is dull to watch. They exhibit a high level of technical skill.”

“The statistics from the other night were remarkable. I understand they were playing away from home against Copenhagen, but they outplayed them. I respect that, I respect when a team can exert such dominance, the players, their approach.

I admire their style of play. I appreciate it because of its brilliance. I would give City a thumbs up, honestly.

Reflecting on Tuesday’s victory in Copenhagen, the visiting team concluded the game with 79% possession and amassed 27 shots on goal, with 13 of them on target.

Therefore, while it was clearly a lopsided affair, it seems unjust to label an attack-oriented team like City as boring.

In fact, when reviewing the entire competition thus far, City have registered more shots on goal (156), shots on target (61), shot-creating actions (292), and goal-creating actions (41) than any other team in this season’s tournament.

This further underscores the abundance of attacking opportunities typically seen in City’s Champions League matches, which is undoubtedly what fans desire.

While those at City need not worry about how certain pundits perceive their style of play or their struggle to acknowledge the excellence of this team, it’s still gratifying to hear Keane recognizing their on-field performance.”
