Red Devils legend names Man United problem that caused West Ham draw

Legendary Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane criticised the Red Devils for drawing against West Ham after being a goal up until late in the game. He questioned their intensity, stressing they could not see games out. 

Manchester United missed the chance to go 5th in the Premier League standings after they were held to a draw by a gutsy Hammers’ performance. 

Ruben Amorim's side were dominant for a large portion of the game but could only produce one goal, a Diogo Dalot strike in the 58th minute.  

They failed to add to that tally, thereby sealing the result, and let in a late equaliser from Soungoutou Magassa after a half-hearted clearance from Noussair Mazraoui. 

Keane was on Sky Sports punditry duty for the match, and he ripped into his old side, questioning their lack of intensity and inability to close out the game, sealing an important result. 

“After they get the goal, you are playing against a team in the bottom three, they take their foot off the gas. You're 1-0 up! Take nothing away from West Ham, and they just about deserved the equaliser,” Keane said, per Goal. 

“You are just putting yourself under pressure. Every time I watch this United team, they are disappointing. They aren't clinical; they weren't nasty enough to get the job done.

“People will be scratching their heads. One minute they are making progress, win, and you go fifth. There will be a lot of frustration. Show your quality. 

*In their last three or four games, I think it has been desperate. Really poor. An opportunity to get the job done, and they were almost frightened. We are talking about fifth here, by the way. Same old problems.

“United are making substitutions, and he is entitled to do that, but I was watching people come off, and it was like they had won the league! Show some intensity. It was all a bit 'this is cool'. 

“You cannot be cool when you're 1-0 up. Get the job done! United have better players than West Ham, but this is not a good United team. It was too relaxed; get the job done!”
