After Manchester United’s defeat against Newcastle on Saturday, Sky Sports consultant Roy Keane was particularly harsh with Anthony Martial.
Manchester United striker Anthony Martial was once again far from expectations on Saturday against Newcastle (0-1). Which earned him criticism from the former glory of Red Devils and consultant for Sky Sports, Roy Keane. The latter judged that the Frenchman, starting for the fourth time in the league this season, did not have the level to evolve within the Mancunian team.
“Manchester United tried to get rid of him”
The ex-Irish international was disappointed with the performance of the former Monegasque, who was clumsy and often lost the ball in important moments of the match against the Magpies.
“We forgive Martial for the fact that he scores a goal every 14 years,” said Roy Keane. But let me tell you when, at Newcastle, under pressure, you are given the ball, you better grab that ball and get us up the pitch and give us some breathing room. We give him balls and he stupidly returns them… Manchester United tried to get rid of him a few years ago, he said. We judge Manchester United on what the club does in big matches. If you can’t get up to speed, maybe you’re not the right player for this club. »

The native of Massy is under contract with MU until June 2024, but his future at the club could prove uncertain. It could therefore be the subject of a loan or be sold next January.
