Roy Keane pulled no punches as he brutally assessed Manchester United following their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
He questioned the commitment of the United team and expressed concern over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's position as manager.
The ex-United captain also hit out at his former club for the lack of leaders and criticised Marcus Rashford's body language.
"Ole will lose his job working with these players - that's what is going to happen." 😳

A furious Keane told Sky Sports: "We spoke before the game about saying being on the front foot, being aggressive, you're the home team, and there were none of those things.
"On top of all there was a lack of energy, enthusiasm, a real lack of quality and that really concerned me in the second half when they were getting in half decent positions and chasing the match but (there was) no quality. No composure.
"Some of the performances were really poor. Ole must be scratching his head. We kept talking after the Spurs game and whether they turned a corner (after that game). It's the longest corner ever."
🗣"I never looked at a manager in all my career going back to 8 or 9 years of age saying are you going to motivate me, that comes from within"

On Rashford, Keane said: "I looked at Rashford closely today who has had a lot of plaudits over the past few months and he's still a young man, but his body language was shocking, really shocking.
"He was shrugging his shoulders when things weren't going his way. You roll your sleeves up at Manchester United.
"(When) things aren't going your way, that's when you look at your leaders and characters."
Keane added: "I don't see any leaders out there (at United), right through the whole team from the experienced players.
"You are expected to roll sleeves up, that's what characters at Man United are about. Like Nobby Stiles, heart of a lion.
"Ole is in management, you have to trust the players because your job relies on the pitch. You're going to trust those players out there? God help us."
🗣"We all have a soft spot for Ole, but he is under no illusion the pressure now will be building, I never thought for one second they would get near Liverpool or City, at this rate they are in no race, they are drifting"

He continued: "Part of football is what you do out of possession. United are not aggressive enough, they aren't hungry. I don't see it out there. I don't see guys I want to be in the trenches with. Guys you trust.
"I'm really worried for Manchester United. There's a real lack of quality and (there's) a long long way back for this club."
Solskjaer's side occupy 15th place with just seven points on the board.
