Gary Neville calls Man Utd 'a disgrace' as Roy Keane labels performance in loss to Man City 'unforgivable'

Gary Neville tore into Manchester United’s performance, labelling their performance a ‘disgrace’ as they lost 4-1 to Manchester City. The derby was a chance for Pep Guardiola’s side to move six clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, while Ralf Rangnick’s men could have reclaimed a Champions League spot with three points. Ad/> However it was the home side who cruised to victory, with United making do with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes as an unorthodox front two, and captain Harry Maguire again failing to impress at the back.

Fellow former United player Roy Keane had much the same opinion, claiming that the heart and passion was missing just as much as the quality. «The worst thing that you could say about United is that they gave up,» Keane said.

«In any game, if you give up, it's unforgivable really. The beauty of top-level sport is there is no hiding place. The way United gave up today, players not running back, when you are playing for Manchester United, that is really unacceptable.
