Roy Keane was not best pleased with one particular player during Manchester United’s 2-0 loss against Arsenal on Wednesday evening.
Ruben Amorim, 39, sustained his first defeat since taking charge of the club at the Emirates as Mikel Arteta’s side once again scored from two corner kicks.
The loss means United currently sit 11th in the Premier League.
Of course, despite the history between the clubs, a loss away at Arsenal will not be what United are judged by this season, given the fact the Gunners will be competing to win the league.
However, Keane could still not hold back his thoughts on one United man.
Marcus Rashford was introduced as a 58th-minute substitute by Amorim and failed to make a positive impact.
“I tell you what, [Marcus] Rashford has come on, his general play as a footballer is shocking,” Keane said during The Overlap brought to you by Sky Bet’s watch-along on Wednesday evening.
“Watch his header there,” he added.
Soon after, Rashford kicked the ball out of play, to the dismay of the former United captain, who gave a ruthless reaction.
“You know what that is, rubbish!” raged Keane.
“That is f***ing rubbish… kicks it out of play.”
The 27-year-old later gave away a corner, which resulted in Arsenal’s second goal of the evening, and Gary Neville was not best pleased.

“That can’t happen,” said Neville.
“It’s a looped corner. You do scratch your head, you’re there as a coach and spend hours going through these corners.”
When discussing the scoreline, Keane went on to concede that “United deserve that” after having just two shots on target.
The United boss, Amorim, also gave his thoughts on his team’s performance after the game.
“You learn all the time, it’s not a good thing or a good feeling, it’s really hard,” said Amorim.
“But you have to take the positives and the negatives like in ever other game.
“So, let’s focus on everything we are doing, recover all the players to be fresh on the next game and go again.
“Full stadium with our fans, and we are going to succeed. We need a little bit of time.”
Next up, United will play host to Nottingham Forest, who will visit Old Trafford on Saturday evening.
