Roy Keane has warned incoming head coach Ruben Amorim that Manchester United players are average after their 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
United’s new-manager bounce fell flat in a stale 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford that confirmed their worst start to a Premier League season.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, United’s interim boss until Amorim arrived on November 11, was unable to help spark the team into form as they played out a drab draw.
“He should have signed a longer contract,” said Keane when asked about Amorim’s appointment. “There is a long way back for this team.
“This is an average Manchester United team. All the stats back that up. They are hit and miss – you never know which team will turn up. Not good.
“‘Boring’ seems a bit strong but they lack conviction. It’s really disappointing. It’s so flat. This team is way off it, getting back in the top four.
“You look at certain individuals and they think they’re better than they are. United are average at everything. There is nothing special about them.
“It was very quiet at Old Trafford. I was glad when the referee blew the final whistle.”
