Roy Keane gave an understandably scathing assessment of Manchester United 's players after their 4-0 loss to Liverpool on Tuesday night.
Goals from Liverpool's imperious front three of Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah, who bagged a brace, and Sadio Mane left interim boss Ralf Rangnick 'embarrassed and disappointed' at full-time. There has been huge backlash to the performance from the likes of Gary Neville and Paul Scholes.
Former Red Devils captain Keane was also furious, and shared his unequivocal frustrations on Sky Sports. Laying into two United players initially, the Irishman slammed the team's antics both on and off the pitch.
"Marcus Rashford played like a child up front," he said. "Harry Maguire - the last goal - his passing and defending was unacceptable, not good enough for Manchester United. So we have to use that word again - rebuild.
"United are sixth in the league - unbelievable. What the club have always had in my experience was brilliant characters, people who would give everything they had for the club. But this team has no soul. Even in their words afterwards, it's very robotic and there's no emotion."

Keane also admitted that watching United now filled him with sadness, as opposed to the anger he had felt under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, underling the lack of pride at Old Trafford now compared to when he was the club captain. "I think it was anger at the start at the season, now I just think it is sadness. You look at the team today, there was no heart, no soul, no leaders," he added.
"They lacked quality, they were so far off. You look at the Manchester United fans, they don’t look surprised by the scoreline. They kept going to the end but you felt as though Liverpool could score whenever they wanted when they went forward.
"There is disarray at this football club, from the top to the bottom. The fans have got no times for the owners. They want new owners, a new manager and new players. It’s so sad to see because it is not the club I played for. It is not what Manchester United stood for when I played for them, it is just chalk and cheese. I don’t see a Manchester United team out there fighting or playing with pride."
United are still in with an outside chance of finishing in the top four, following dropped points from Tottenham and Arsenal over the weekend. The Gunners face Chelsea on Wednesday night in another tough clash, while Spurs' next encounter is away to Brentford on Saturday.
