Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has ripped into Harry Maguire and David De Gea following their disappointing performance against Tottenham Hotspurs.

Manchester United traveled to Tottenham Hotspurs for their first game of premier league restart after three months, but find themselves behind just 27 minutes into the encounter.

Dutch winger Steven Bergwinjn opened the scoring for Jose Mourinho’s through a superb solo effort as he skipped past Fred, Shaw, and Maguire to unleashed a powerful shot that De Gea pushed into his own net.

David de Gea has now made seven errors leading to opposition goals since the start of last season, the record he hold with David Luiz of Arsenal.

Speaking from his role as a pundit, the sharp razor-tongued, Keane criticized both De Gea and Maguire for the goal.

The former Sunderland boss said the Spanish goalkeeper is overrated and he wouldn’t have allowed board the team bus back home.

“This is an established international goalkeeper. I’m flabbergasted. There’s got to be something going on at half-time. If I was Ole, make some changes, get some lads off the pitch, some of them are going through the motions at the moment.

“Maguire and De Gea, I wouldn’t let them on the bus after the match, let them get a taxi back to Manchester.”

These are established international players,” added Keane. “I know we’ve got to analyze the game, but you do your job.

“Maguire, De Gea, you should hang your heads in shame. Representing Manchester United, letting people run past you. Get close to them!

“De Gea is the most overrated goalkeeper I’ve seen in a long, long time. Tottenham had some bits of quality, but I’d have saved that [Heung-Min] Son shot. That’s not a great save, it’s middle of the goal, it’s his job.” he said.
