Keane, Souness agree that Liverpool star should’ve been sent off

Roy Keane and Graeme Souness think that Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita should’ve been sent off against Manchester United.

The Reds ran out comfortable winners in an embarrassing 4-0 defeat for Man Utd as they failed to lay a glove on their rivals for most of the game.

First-half goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah had Liverpool in control going into the break before Sadio Mane and Salah added two more in the second half.

Liverpool perhaps should’ve finished the game with ten men after substitute Keita made a late challenge on Man Utd winger Jesse Lingard.

On the challenge from the Liverpool midfielder, Souness said on Sky Sports: “It’s a red card all day. I think Keita’s got very luck and Liverpool have got very lucky there.

“It wouldn’t have affected the score but this is a sending off. He gets away with that one.”

And Keane agreed, he added: “It wouldn’t have affected the score but it would have been a suspension. That’s the frustration. That’s a red card.”

After beating United 5-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season, Liverpool have racked up a 9-0 aggregate scoreline against the Red Devils this season – but it is not something Jurgen Klopp is thinking about.

“I am not here to humiliate opponents. We did what we had to do,” Klopp said.

“They played without their centre midfielders and when you are in a difficult situation like United before the game, Paul (Pogba) has to go off and it is not easy to play against us.
