Watch Roy Keane launch extraordinary rant at Manchester United trio David de Gea, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw

Roy Keane furiously criticised Manchester United trio David de Gea, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw after Steven Bergwijn put Tottenham 1-0 ahead on Friday night.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United side entered the game in fifth position, looking to momentarily overtake Frank Lampard's Chelsea in fourth.

The Red Devils found themselves 1-0 down at half-time, however, with Tottenham January signing Steven Bergwijn scoring a sublime solo effort.

The £27million signing eased past Harry Maguire, before smashing the ball goalwards. De Gea - who should have done better - could only parry the shot into the roof of the net.

And Keane - speaking on Sky Sports in the interval - launched a scathing attack at the pair.

"I'm shocked at that goal," he said. "I've watched a lot of football over the years, but to give away that goal... I'm fuming watching this game of football.

"I can't believe Manchester United! I can't believe [Luke] Shaw, heading the ball in the air and then running forward.

"I am staggered at Maguire. Staggered that an international player can get done like this.

"And I am sick to death of this goalkeeper. I would be finding him at half-time; there's no getting away from that.

"I would be swinging punches at that guy. This is an established international goalkeeper, I am flabbergasted.

"Maguire and de Gea, I wouldn't even be letting them on the bus at the end of the match," he added. "Get a taxi back to Manchester."

He continued: "I am disgusted with it - Maguire, de Gea, you should hang your heads in shame."
