Ruben Amorim’s tenure as Manchester United’s head coach has had a challenging start. His first defeat came in a Premier League clash against Arsenal, where defensive prowess from the Gunners made the difference. Arsenal’s goals came from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba, both scoring from corners, highlighting their aerial dominance. Despite a tight game, Arsenal’s physicality proved decisive【11†source】【10†source】.
Roy Keane, commenting on the match during a YouTube watch-along for The Overlap, did not hold back in his criticism of Manchester United’s performance. He was especially harsh on Marcus Rashford, who he felt had poor general play. Keane criticized Rashford’s header and a clumsy moment in which United kicked the ball out of play, calling it “rubbish.” In his broader comments on United’s struggles, Keane remarked that the current team’s performances were consistent with their past underachievement, and he seemed to express little optimism about seeing immediate improvement【11†source】【10†source】.
