Roy Keane slams 'criminal' Manchester United first-half collapse against Liverpool
17.03.2024 - 17:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Roy Keane has slammed Manchester United for their "criminal" defending in the first-half against Liverpool in the FA Cup.
United took the lead through Scott McTominay after a well-worked move down the left. The Scotland international could've doubled the lead shortly after but he was denied by a good diving save from Caoimhin Kelleher.
Jurgen Klopp's side turned the quarter-final on its head with two goals at the end of the first-half. Alexis Mac Allister netted a third goal in as many games, with the help of a deflection off Kobbie Mainoo, before Mohamed Salah put the visitors in front two minutes into added time.

Keane criticised the lack of intensity in United's defending, highlighting Marcus Rashford after Jarell Quansah run past him for the equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
"It was coming, it's been the biggest worry for United this season - they've been so open," the former United midfielder began. "They need someone to sit, it's called game-management, Liverpool were getting stronger but United have got to get someone in behind there, protect the back four.
"To give up the chances, they've got players back here (Mac Allister equaliser) but the intensity from the attacker, Rashford my God, you're talking about an FA Cup quarter-final - get to people.
"For Liverpool, it's way too simple get out to him but before that, not enough aggression, it's no good having the numbers back if they're not aggressive, you've got to be aggressive.
"This is injury time (Salah 2-1), go in at 1-1, game-management if you're on the ropes you can come out in the second-half. Liverpool haven't been that great
