Roy Keane criticises Manchester United duo after England beat Belgium

Roy Keane has criticised Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford after England win over Belgium on Sunday. The Three Lions managed to beat 2 - 1 the rivals in the UEFA Nations League clash, despite Belgium taking control in the first half. Speaking about the match, Keane admitted that England showed a good character but shared his discontent on United duo's display. Former Red Devils man said: "We’re talking about decision-making, particularly against very good teams here. Listen, [Declan] Rice had an excellent night, I thought he was very good, but here he gets himself into a bit of a mess with his decision-making. He gets dragged into the ball where he really doesn’t have to. When you make a mistake like that you hope your team-mate helps you out but then it’s compounded by Maguire, they’ve made a bad situation worse. Maguire then goes when he doesn’t have to go and straight away you’re thinking, “We’re in trouble here” because you look at this boy, Lukaku, big, strong, powerful player and you know he’s going to outrun Dier. In a defensive position your plan is to slow him up if you can and show him wide but Dier does the opposite to that." Then he added: "Rashford in the first-half was going through the motions. I just want to make a point, Rashford, his body language in the first half, he needs to do better. And then he started doing what he should be doing, running at people, getting forward, doing things quickly. Gareth Southgate should have said something at half-time, cut out this nonsense, kind of standing on the ball. Pass it and run, pass it and move and, again, it was excellent play between Rice and Rashford at the end but simplify the game. Remember what got you into this England team and that’s running at people. That’s your strength." England will be on action for their next Nations League game against Denmark on Wednesday.
