A Manchester United legend criticized the team's defense after the resounding victory over Liverpool

Manchester United legend Roy Keane expressed dissatisfaction with the defensive actions of the Red Devils in the FA Cup match against Liverpool (4:3), especially in the first half.

The Red Devils secured a spot in the semifinals in extra time, with Marcus Rashford equalizing the score, and Amad Diallo clinching the victory for the team in the 120th minute.

"It was coming, it's been the biggest worry for United this season - they've been so open. They need someone to sit, it's called game-management, Liverpool were getting stronger but United have got to get someone in behind there, protect the back four.

To give up the chances, they've got players back here (Mac Allister equaliser) but the intensity from the attacker, Rashford my God, you're talking about an FA Cup quarter-final - get to people.

This is injury time (Salah 2-1), go in at 1-1, game-management if you're on the ropes you can come out in the second-half. Liverpool haven't been that great going forward but if you keep giving them time and space in these areas, they get punished. For United to play out from the back in injury time, it's criminal.

But anyway, it's a huge result for Erik ten Hag. They were trying to get momentum into the season. They looked like they were going to lose the game. They've not turned up in the big games. They've turned up today and hopefully that can give the players belief." Keane said.

In the FA Cup semifinals, Erik ten Hag's team will face Coventry. In the other pairing, Manchester City and Chelsea will go head-to-head.
