BREAKING NEWS: “He Needs to Cover His Head in Shame” – Manchester United Legend Roy Keane Blasts Star After Woeful Display in Wolves Defeat.
Old Trafford is in turmoil yet again after Manchester United slumped to a shocking 0-1 defeat against Wolves, and this time, the fallout has been brutal. Club legend Roy Keane has delivered a scathing assessment of one of the team’s most high-profile players, leaving fans and pundits stunned.
Speaking after the game, Keane didn’t hold back as he tore into under-fire midfielder Mason Mount, who returned to the starting XI only to deliver what Keane described as “one of the most uninspired performances I’ve seen in a United shirt this season.”
“He needs to cover his head in shame—because we’re clearly playing better football without him,” Keane said on Sky Sports. “It’s embarrassing at this point. He doesn’t understand the game, doesn’t read the play, doesn’t bring anything to the team. The difference without him is night and day.”
Mount, who arrived last summer from Chelsea for a staggering £55 million fee, has failed to live up to expectations. Injuries aside, his lack of impact in big moments has frustrated both fans and former players alike. Against Wolves, he looked off the pace, misplacing passes, losing duels, and failing to create any meaningful chances.
“He’s become a passenger while others are driving us forward,” Keane added. “This is Manchester United. You don’t get by on reputation alone. He’s offering nothing. I can’t see a future with him in this squad.”
United supporters were quick to voice their agreement online, with phrases like “Mount out” and “We want him no more” trending on social media platforms just minutes after the full-time whistle.
“He needs to leave,” one furious fan posted. “We’ve given him chances. No surprise he plays this bad—week in, week out.”
With Champions League qualification slipping out of reach and pressure mounting on manager Ruben Amorim, tough decisions are looming. If United are to rebuild and challenge again, performances like Mount’s will no longer be tolerated—and legends like Keane are making sure that message is heard loud and clear.
