In the FA Cup discussion, Keane criticized a Manchester United midfielder, citing a perceived lack of physical prowess.

During the FA Cup semi-final clash between Manchester United and Coventry City on Sunday, former Red Devils player Roy Keane weighed in on Kobbie Mainoo. Speaking on ITV, Keane acknowledged Mainoo’s recent impressive form but cautioned against comparisons with midfielders like Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, emphasizing Mainoo’s unique playing style.

Addressing Mainoo’s physical stature compared to Rice and Bellingham, Keane noted, “He lacks that physicality. He’s not six foot. But he’s astute. He’s precise and methodical. He’s shown remarkable form in recent months, and there’s a possibility he might feature for England in Euro 2024 this summer.”
