Manchester United legend Roy Keane has recently spoken out, tearing into one of United’s main men following the sacking of Erik ten Hag.
United finally made the decision last week to part ways with ten Hag after the club have suffered a poor run of form since last season.
Currently sitting in 13th place, Ruben Amorim has been hired to lift the club back up the table to restore them to their former glory.

However, United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes has recently spoken about ten Hag’s departure.
Bruno Fernandes’ apology to Erik ten Hag
Speaking after United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Fernandes spoke to Sky Sports about ten Hag leaving the club, saying: “When you see a manager go you have to look at the mirror first.”
He continued: “I spoke to Erik ten Hag and I told him I apologise and I feel disappointed I couldn’t do more for him. We should’ve done better.
“I wasn’t scoring goals and I felt responsibility as I’m normally a player with a lot of goals and assists. The main thing is he’s aware of that. Every week is challenging, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. It’s a different week because we know Erik is gone.
“It’s not good for anyone at the club when a manager goes because it means that the position where the team is isn’t the best, the results are not the best. We are all disappointed by that, you always have to take a little bit of the blame on yourself.”
However, Roy Keane very quickly shot the comments down when the coverage returned to the studio.
Roy Keane shoots down Bruno Fernandes’ apology
The former United captain wasted no time sharing his thoughts on Fernandes’ words. Keane very quickly commented: “These are always awkward interviews for players but I wouldn’t have much time and patience for the player to say; ‘Listen, sorry, we let you down’. Too little, too late.”
He continued: “We’ll judge what you’re doing on the football pitch. I don’t think Bruno has done enough in a lot of the games already. He didn’t show that leadership. So it would be interesting to hear what Ten Hag has to say about it. But you also have to move on.
“A lot of players don’t care that much when a manager goes. They just focus on the next manager and get ready, and look after themselves. Players can be selfish, we know that… but I don’t think Bruno done enough as a captain of Man United over the last year or two to help the manager out. Far from it.
“The proof’s there with all the results. It’s not just on Bruno, of course, but I don’t think he showed enough leadership skills when the going’s got tough with some of the performances. I don’t think Bruno should be too proud of himself, of what’s happened to the manager of the last week or two.
“I think the players let the manager down, ultimately.”
