JUST IN: WHY ROY KEANE SAYS £62M STAR MATHEUS CUNHA IS "THE REAL DEAL."
Roy Keane labels Matheus Cunha "the real deal" but blasts Manchester United’s defence after a 2-1 loss to Villa.
After Manchester United's loss to Aston Villa, Roy Keane pointed out one player who impressed him.
Morgan Rogers scored a great goal to get things going at Villa Park, but United's Matheus Cunha, who joined in the summer, evened the score right before halftime.
Even though Ruben Amorim's team played better overall, Rogers scored a second goal, giving Aston Villa a 2-1 victory and their tenth straight win since November 6.
This win means Aston Villa will be in third place in the Premier League on Christmas Day, just one point behind Manchester City and three points behind Arsenal.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is now seventh in the league, three points away from the Champions League spots.
Even though the Red Devils went home with nothing, Keane saw some good things in United's play and is still impressed with Cunha, who joined the team this summer.
Cunha, who came from Wolves for £62.5 million last summer, scored his second goal for United in the game against Aston Villa. He also had a great chance to tie the score in the second half, but missed.
When asked on Sky Sports if he saw potential in Cunha, Keane said, He's more than just potential; he's the real deal.
There was no doubt about the goal; it was a fantastic finish. But then he misses an easy shot in the second half, which doesn't make sense. It's hard to believe he missed it.
Keane, a former captain, also talked about United's performance in general, saying, I wouldn't say they were unlucky; they gave up two goals.
They've let in six goals in the last two games, which isn't good enough. We praise their attack, and they're more of a threat, but they're giving up too many chances and goals. You can't improve if that keeps going on.
United can fight, and they showed it again, but they need to be more intense when defending and show more.
You can't let in six goals in two games and expect to win because you're making it too difficult for yourselves. They're not good enough when they don't have the ball.
Amorim said in his post-match interview that Manchester United was the 'better team' against Aston Villa.
"I think we were the better team," Amorim said. We were better.
We stopped their attacks well, and they did a great job. We did a very good job, but no one will remember it tomorrow because the result is what matters.
I think we deserved much more, but the better team didn't win.
EX-CAPTAIN NEVILLE CLAIMS SUBSTITUTIONS MADE MANCHESTER UNITED "WORSE" AGAINST WOLVES
Gary Neville slams Ruben Amorim’s "weird" substitutions and tactical shifts after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with bottom-side Wolves.
Gary Neville said that the performance of Manchester United in their match against winless Wolves was ‘the baddest of the bad.’
United would have moved fourth in the league with a win at Old Trafford last night, although Wolves, who had two points in 18 games before kickoff, ended their record of 11 straight losses with a 1-1 draw.
Amorim’s team had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a League Two team, Grimsby, in August, but Neville was convinced that United had hit rock bottom in a game that could have been even more one-sided were it not for two important saves by Senne Lammens.
“That was the baddest of the bad," the former United captain declared on the Gary Neville podcast.
“They weren’t just booed off at the final whistle. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They’ve gone backwards.”
United had won at Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day, despite being plagued by an injury list that already lacked skipper Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as three players on African Cup of Nations duty.
But they remained flat right from the first whistle, and the header by Ladislav Krejci just before the half bottled Joshua Zirkzee's deflected shot.
Amorim’s formation choice of 3-4-3 was brought into focus once more as the Portuguese opted to go back to his preferred tactic of four at the back against Newcastle.
“This isn’t right. I’ve watched enough of United over the last five or six weeks to know what looks right and what isn’t right,” Neville had declared 20 minutes into his commentary on Sky Sports.
“Because, when I see that we go back (to three at the back) after five minutes tonight, I’m thinking, no, Ruben, why have you done that?
"The manager has to look at that and think, I got that wrong. I complicated it."
However, Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee at halftime and brought on an 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, who made his third appearance at the senior level.
Regarding substitutions made by Amorim, Neville further added, “They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was ridiculous.”
‘If Zirkzee was injured, and it was a tactical substitution, that was a very poor one.’ But Zirkzee isn't Eric Cantona, not by a long shot, and he had to get out there for physicality, for presence, for experience.”
SEE LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S FURIOUS REACTION AFTER MAN UTD’S SHOCK WOLVES DRAW
Lisandro Martinez demands more after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves. United ended 2025 sixth in the Premier League.
Stand-in captain Lisandro Martinez was mad that Manchester United dropped points against Wolves, who are at the bottom of the league.
United came into the last game of 2025 after a good win against Newcastle on Boxing Day and were expected to easily beat Wolves.
Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but they didn't take their chances. Ladislav Krejci's header tied the game for Wolves, 1-1.
It was only their third point in 19 games, and it stopped their 11-game losing streak. United fans booed at the end of the game.
When Martinez was asked if it felt like a disappointing point, he said, 100 percent.
We are very disappointed. We can't keep drawing or losing points at home. We have to win.
We want to be at the top, competing with the best.
We can't drop points in games like this. We just have to accept it and be hungry for the next game.
Martinez was captain again because Bruno Fernandes is still recovering from an injury.
When United coach Ruben Amorim was asked about injured players for the game against Leeds on Sunday, he didn't give much away. Leeds are really wanting to beat United for the first time since 2010.
Martinez said to MUTV, You can either make excuses, or you can be strong and say, 'We're dropping points, so we need to go for the next one and show what we can do.'
We need to work together and do the easy things to get the three points.
United is in sixth place in the league at the end of 2025, only two points behind Liverpool for the last Champions League spot. Liverpool has a game in hand.
They could be in a better position if they had been better in both boxes. Leeds has been playing well lately, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin doing great up front.
Martinez added, It's about us. I don't like to think about other teams.
I'm thinking about what we can do to get better as a team every day, and we have to learn from this game.
