“It’s the same issues repeating, it is clearly obvious that charisma doesn’t win matches, It is a clear vision and a good set of players that win matches. Manchester United just went ahead and got themselves a younger Erik Ten Hag” Roy Keane remarked, expressing his disappointment with Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United debut. The former United captain criticized the team’s performance, stating it lacked improvement and innovation. Keane’s remarks reflected ongoing concerns about United’s inability to address fundamental problems.

Roy Keane was left unimpressed by Manchester United’s display in Ruben Amorim’s managerial debut. Despite an early goal at Ipswich Town, United faltered and left with a disappointing 1-1 draw. Keane criticized the team’s performance, describing it as “predictable” and lacking confidence, belief, and quality.

Andre Onana’s impressive saves, including two crucial stops against Liam Delap, were vital in securing even a single point for United. However, Keane pointed out that such reliance on individual moments has been a recurring theme for the club in recent years.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Keane said, “United sat back after taking the lead, almost afraid to push forward. It’s the same old story—fearful, predictable, and without the quality needed to challenge for the top four. Based on this evidence, I don’t see them competing at the highest level.”

Ruben Amorim, who had limited time with the squad due to the international break, now faces a daunting challenge as he seeks to rebuild United into Premier League contenders. With crucial matches against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League and Everton in the Premier League ahead, the task of addressing United’s long-standing issues looms large.
