"Too casual" - Roy Keane slams two Manchester United players for their role in City's goal during derby defeat
Roy Keane has called out Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Anthony Elanga for being 'too casual' during their encounter against Manchester City on Sunday night. The Red Devils legend was left unimpressed with the two players and was frustrated with how they gave up during the game.
Manchester City registered a comfortable 4-1 win on Sunday at the Etihad against Manchester United. Pep Guardiola's side took the lead before Jadon Sancho equalized early in the first half. The scoreline was again in City's favor just six minutes later via Kevin de Bruyne, and the home side dominated until the final whistle.

While speaking on the post-match analysis show on Sky Sports, Keane said he was furious with Wan-Bissaka and Elanga for their mistake in the first half.
"It's sloppy, too casual at the back. Wan-Bissaka not going to win the header, Elanga too casual. It's frustrating because United have done some decent stuff. But the concentration and intensity for the two goals has not been good enough. The two goals they've given away - nowhere near good enough."
Jamie Carragher had other views and believed Victor Lindelof's mistake led to the goal.
"It's Victor Lindelof, you can see him there he's one of the centre-backs, he goes to try and win the ball, he comes out. He's the right-sided centre-back and he doesn't win it. Then watch his reaction - De Bruyne runs past him. He's walking. You can throw Fred into the equation. If he'd have jogged back in or sprinted back in, he'd have stopped that. That just sums up Manchester United's defending."

He named Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford and said:
"I could write down five or six players who I think should never play for Man United again. Just shameful, shameful. Subs coming on and you hope they're going to have an impact but they're not prepared to run around. A couple of lads in midfield, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Maguire, Rashford came on, I could go on. The old saying of men vs boys. They gave up and shame on them."
