London: Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has lashed out at Harry Maguire and David de Gea for their poor performances in the team's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League.

"I'm shocked at that goal," the former United captain said to a media channel.

"I've watched a lot of football over the years, but to give that away, I'm fuming.

"I can't believe (Luke) Shaw heads the ball up and then runs forward, I'm staggered at Maguire, staggered that an international player can get done like this, and I'm sick to death of this goalkeeper.

"This is an established international goalkeeper. I'm flabbergasted. There's got to be something going on at half-time. If I was Ole, make some changes, get some lads off the pitch, some of them are going through the motions at the moment," he added.

"Spurs have been okay, they've been compact. But Maguire and De Gea, I wouldn't let them on the bus after the match, let them get a taxi back to Manchester."

"Maguire, De Gea, you should hang your heads in shame. Representing Manchester United, letting people run past you. Get close to them!" Keane said.

He further called De Gea the most overrated goalkeeper and claims that Tottenham had some bits of quality.

"De Gea is the most overrated goalkeeper I've seen in a long, long time. Tottenham had some bits of quality, but I'd have saved that [Heung-Min] Son shot. That's not a great save, it's middle of the goal, it's his job," Keane added.

Paul Pogba's return was the only positive sign for Manchester United from the game. The Frenchman fuelled power to United's attack in the second attack by creating some good chances and winning a penalty which was converted into a goal by his midfield partner Bruno Fernandes.

Steven Bergwijn earlier scored the opening goal for Tottenham.
