Roy Keane fumes at Manchester United amid 'unfair' Ruben Amorim selection decision

Roy Keane has criticised Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim for his call to deploy new recruit Patrick Dorgu as a right wing-back on debut.

The young Dane, who recently joined from Lecce in a deal worth an initial £25.2million plus £4.2million in add-ons, was touted as the answer to United's left wing-back woes. Therefore, it came as a surprise when United's starting line-up was revealed - although Amorim has since defended his choice by asserting that Dorgu is equally adept on the opposite side.

However, ex-United captain turned TV pundit Keane expressed his displeasure during ITV's coverage of the match, stating: "There is a lack of belief, lack of confidence. They've brought new players in and you're thinking he's [Dorgu] going to play in his position and he's playing right wing-back.

"You think, is that unfair on players? And you look at the urgency for the goal [Leicester's opener], it's given away cheaply, people not staying with their runners. I just look at it from United's point of view and think, my goodness, is this what it's come to?"

To compound matters, Dorgu was then substituted at half-time, shortly after Keane's outburst. However, the introduction of Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee, who scored the equaliser, turned the game around, culminating in a contentious late winner from Harry Maguire. Post-match, Reds head coach Amorim defended his unexpected use of Dorgu, stating: "He played a lot of times for Lecce on the right and the left.

"That's one of the characteristics we pay a lot of attention to. He was a little bit anxious with the first touch of the ball. This is a different league for him, different speed of the game but he did well. He has pace, he has strength and he's going to improve
