Manchester United legend Roy Keane has made it clear that he is deeply concerned by the complete lack of reaction from the club’s players to Ruben Amorim as manager.
The Red Devils had a terrible start to the season under previous manager Erik ten Hag, which saw him sacked and replaced temporarily by interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Man Utd showed some signs of improvement under Van Nistelrooy, but since Amorim stepped in as Ten Hag’s permanent successor, results and performances have taken a turn for the worse.

Keane is not one to be held back, and it’s clear he’s not expecting anything particularly positive for United today as they head to Anfield for what could be. a very long afternoon against an in-form Liverpool side.
Can Ruben Amorim help Man United pull off a shock result at Liverpool?
Amorim did a very impressive job at Sporting Lisbon, and we may soon start to see his methods have the desired effect with this United team.
It hasn’t happened yet, that’s for sure, but Liverpool could do well not to take their opponents lightly this afternoon, having recently surprised Manchester City 2-1.
In fairness, City are also having a very difficult season, very unlike Liverpool, so the trip to Anfield will surely be a much bigger challenge.
One imagines we’re more likely to see something akin to that 7-0 thrashing from a couple of years ago, rather than a win for Amorim’s team.
