Roy Keane claims Manchester United's lack of ruthlessness is 'not a good reflection' on the club

Roy Keane has continued his criticism of Manchester United this season, claiming the way they reached the Europa League final is “not a good reflection” on the club and questioned the mentality Jose Mourinho has installed in the side.

United took a 1-0 advantage over Celta Vigo back to Old Trafford and doubled it with an early Marouane Fellaini goal before seeing out the first half in a professional manner.

However, the second half was anything but professional as Celta Vigo dictated the game and scored to set up the most nervous five minutes of Mourinho’s career.

In those five minutes Eric Bailly saw red and Celta striker John Guidetti missed an open goal with the last kick of the game – which would have seen United dumped out – and Keane was disappointed with the defensive mindset throughout the 90 minutes, calling for the side to become more “ruthless”.

“Credit to United, they've got to the final and that's been the plan for the last few months,” Keane said on ITV.

“But their level of performance tonight in letting a team like Celta Vigo dictate the game and keep themselves in the game until the last minute is not a good reflection on United.

“It goes to show where they've been all season with the amount of draws they've had, you can see tonight, almost having that defensive mindset for the whole night.

“They just couldn't get to that level which they've not done for most of the season.

“This is Manchester United at home, you're 2-0 up, go and finish the job and relax and play with a bit of freedom. But they make such hard work of it.

“They've got to be a bit more ruthless. It's not just been a problem tonight, it's been their lack of goals all season.

“They're not scoring enough goals for a team like Man United with their attacking players. What's the mentality, is it coming from the manager?

“You can make lots of excuses but they got away with it tonight. They've got to do better and be more ruthless.”
