“The Chelsea manager, he’s patronising” – Roy Keane on Enzo Maresca post Man Utd win | OneFootball

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has said Enzo Maresca was patronising in his post-match comments on Friday.

This news comes after Chelsea got a vital three points on Friday night against Manchester United in what was a crucial win for the race for Champions League football next season.

One Chelsea legend Gary Cahill was at the match and he has hailed one key player in the game as being one of the best in Europe after his influence on the match.

Cahill wasn’t the only one praising this player as well, with team mate Pedro Neto joining in and picking up on the character of the Chelsea hero from Friday night.

Chelsea will now move on to their final league game of the season next weekend away at Nottingham Forest, and it’s another game they have to win the secure Champions League qualification.

What Maresca said

After the game, Maresca claimed Manchester United had played well when assessing his own side’s performance.

“I know how difficult it is to play against Man United,” Maresca told reporters in his post-match interview.

“We expected a tough game, congratulations to them because they played very well.”

Keane admitted that United aren’t good at anything before suggesting Maresca was ‘patronising’ with his post-match comments about United.

“You sit up and watch certain teams, and you hang your hat on something,” Keane told Sky Sports. “You say they’re really technically very good, they’re fit, they’re brilliant, they’re good at set-pieces. You look at United and go, they’re not really good at anything.

“If they don’t win [the Europa League final] next week, I think the days of everyone wanting to go to Manchester United are gone.

“I don’t think there’ll be players looking to sign for Manchester United. That’s gone, that bit of excitement with the club.

“The fans, even here tonight, I don’t think the United fans are angry anymore. It’s just an acceptance. Even the manager’s interview there, he’s accepting where they are.

“Now, obviously, you have to be realistic, but you still want to show emotion and a bit of anger. I think United fans will be going back up the motorway to Manchester tonight going: ‘Oh, that’s what we thought would probably happen.’ And that’s a sad thing to do.

“I certainly didn’t, and I don’t think the manager [Amorim] did, and more importantly, I don’t think the players believed they could come and win tonight.

“And even the Chelsea manager, he’s patronising them by saying: ‘Oh, they played well, they pressed us, they were one on one. They’re dangerous. We watched them a few times’.

‘They beat them 1-0. And United had one shot on target. One shot on target. He’s just like, what they’re doing to United, they’re patting them on the head going saying, ‘off you go, back up to Manchester’.

“That’s what United used to do to teams years ago. Now they’re getting it. And they’ve got to respond to that. Don’t accept that nonsense.”
