The Red Devils kicked off their 2022-2023 campaign with a disappointing loss to Brighton at Old Trafford after Pascal Gross scored twice for the Seagulls. Keane placed the blame on Fred and McTominay, claiming the midfield duo would never been 'good enough' to get 'United competing back at the top'. Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has criticised the club after Sunday's result Ten Hag has brought in Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen this summer but Keane is adamant United need additional players. Speaking after United's loss to Brighton, he said that Fred and McTominay will never be 'good enough' to get the Red Devils 'back competing at the top'. The Sky Sports pundit said: 'The [lack of] decision-making and football intelligence from midfield, particularly Fred. 'I've been going on about it for a long time – Fred and [Scott] McTominay are not good enough. 'They won't get Manchester United back competing at the top. We see it week in, week out. They're not up to it.' The midfielder duo were also savaged by Robbie Mustoe - who said that the club had not brought in enough quality this summer. At halftime the pundit blamed the Red Devils' poor transfer window for their dreadful performance. 'I'll keep this short and simple,' Mustoe said on NBC. 'I know Ronaldo's been getting the headlines but the bigger headline for me is the transfer window for United has been incredibly disappointing. They haven't brought any quality in. 'When you've still got and I'm sorry because there's part of Scott McTominay's game that I like, Fred as well, but the quality required in the middle of the park for this football club is nowhere near good enough to supply the front players out there. 'Sancho and Rashford [are] having a good preseason, they haven't seen the ball because the ball keeps getting given away by the midfield players, I can put a reel together of six and seven times. 'It looks simple stuff, but if your midfield players don't possess a pass, positively forward, to get forwards involved, they are going to be fiddling around and giving the ball away. Brighton have been brilliant. 'Quality is lacking at this football club. Players they've brought on are okay but Man United bringing in okay, it's not good enough.' More to follow...
