Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane didn’t hold back after the club’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle, saying manager Ruben Amorim might not have realised just how poor the squad really is.

Newcastle dominated the match, with goals from Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, and a brace from Harvey Barnes. Alejandro Garnacho’s equaliser was the only bright moment for United, who now sit 14th on the Premier League table.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said Amorim must be baffled by the level of performance from his players.

“He’s probably scratching his head right now,” Keane said. “He can’t come out and say it, but I don’t think he knew just how bad this team really is. The mistakes they’re making, the lack of energy — it’s shocking.”

Keane also suggested that the Premier League might be proving tougher than Amorim expected.

“He’s done his research, sure, but I think this league has caught him off guard. He’s walked into a mess and probably didn’t see it coming.”

Olivier Giroud doesn’t see Paul Pogba heading to Inter Miami to join Lionel Messi anytime soon, despite the growing rumors.

Giroud, who shared the pitch with Pogba during their time with the French national team, spoke on the midfielder’s next move after his doping suspension was lifted earlier this year.

Pogba has been a free agent since January and has recently been linked to a move to MLS, particularly Inter Miami. However, Giroud thinks otherwise.

The ex-Arsenal and Chelsea forward, now playing for Los Angeles FC after leaving AC Milan this season, shared his thoughts in an interview with Telefoot.

“It was great to see him again,” Giroud said. “But honestly, I feel like he still wants to stay in Europe. I think that’s where his ambition lies.”

Pogba’s next club is still uncertain, but if Giroud’s take is anything to go by, the 32-year-old might not be ready to cross the Atlantic just yet.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim admitted his team fell short after a disappointing 4–1 loss to Newcastle on Sunday.

The Red Devils endured their 14th Premier League defeat of the season at St James’ Park, struggling to match the energy and precision of the home side.

Sandro Tonali got Newcastle off to a strong start, but Garnacho brought United back into it with an equalizer. That hope didn’t last, though, as Harvey Barnes netted twice and Bruno Guimarães added another to put the game out of reach.

After the match, Amorim didn’t sugarcoat the performance. “We made too many mistakes,” he said. “Newcastle were better, especially with second balls. It’s not just one thing. It’s hard enough facing a strong side like this, but when we help them with our own errors, it gets even worse.”

Despite the setback, Amorim urged his team to shift focus. “We know we’re capable of doing better. What happened today can’t happen again on Thursday.”
