Maguire has appeared on TV to say sorry to supporters and insist his men are ready to bounce back against Tottenham.
But hard-man Keane – who himself skippered United from 1997 to 2005 – said he was sick of hearing excuses after a string of awful performances.
Keane said on Sky Sports ahead of United’s trip to Spurs: “What Man United have always had over the years is players with character and personalities.
“I don’t see it with this group. I heard Maguire talking during the week, he was like a robot.
“He was like (English accent): ‘Apologies to the fans’, with no emotion behind it.
“These guys are coming off the back of a good European Championship for England.

“They’ve turned up before for big matches. I’m fed up with the chat after games and people apologising.
“Harry Maguire says ‘we need to come together as a group’.
“No, you need to sort your game out if you’re going to be the leader of that group. Get the basics right and do your own job.
“People say he might not be fit, he gave a goal away against Leicester a couple of weeks ago.
“It’s nothing to do with fitness, just a lack of professionalism and not doing his job properly.”

NEWCASTLE are planning a summer bid for Manchester United ace Scott McTominay, reports suggest.That is according to the Telegraph, who report that Eddie Howe believes McTominay as can add a greater physical presence to his midfield.

Howe is also confident the Scotland international would compliment Bruno Guimaraes by shielding the back-four while the Brazilian adds creativity further up the pitch.
The Toon tried to sign the 26-year-old in January but United refused to sell to a direct Premier League rival.
However, Newcastle are now confident the Red Devils’ resolve will soften as manager Erik ten Hag will need to raise funds as he continues his Old Trafford rebuild.
McTominay is not the glamorous name Toon fans had in mind after their £300million Saudi-led takeover in 2021 but chief scout Steve Nickson, director of football Dan Ashworth and Howe are big fans.

The Tyneside giants need a defensive midfielder after losing Jonjo Shelvey to Nottingham Forest and the manager prefers to sign players with Premier League experience.
Plus, the Magpies are pushing for a Champions League finish and would need McTominay’s experience in Europe.
The United academy graduate has played in the Champions League and Europa League but has fallen down the pecking order behind Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Fred and Marcel Sabitzer.
And McTominay could be keen to move to a club like Newcastle who want to give him a key role with more opportunities at top level.

The United ace would add muscle in midfield and an extra threat at set-pieces.
It is also believed that McTominay is also the kind of player who could dramatically improve under Howe’s coaching.
The midfielder has only managed two goals and one assist in 32 matches across all competitions this season. More

GARETH BALE was pictured icing his ankle after he was subbed off at West Brom.
The injury scare will concern Tottenham fans as the Welsh star has only just worked his way back to match fitness.

Bale was replaced by Lucas Moura in the 78th minute and immediately headed to the bench for treatment.
The winger was seen complaining to the physio as he sat down with his team-mates.
And soon after the ex-Real Madrid man had an enormous ice pack strapped to his right ankle.
The procedure is designed to treat swelling but the extent of the injury remains unclear.

Fans on Twitter were concerned the injury prone star could be facing some more time on the sidelines.
But some were more cynical and suggested it could be a ploy to keep the 31-year-old out of international duty.
Dyssey wrote: “Either it’s fake so he ditched international duty or the Bale injury bingo happened sooner than I thought.”
Wales play the USA in a friendly on Thursday before two home Nations League games against Ireland and Finland on November 15 and 18.

And last week, Spurs boss Jose Mourinho admitted he feels ‘uncomfortable’ about Bale playing for his country because their assistant manager works for Arsenal.
Albert Stuivenberg, who is also No2 to Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, will help caretaker Robert Page with the Dragons squad next week after regular gaffer Ryan Giggs’ arrest for an alleged assault.
And Mourinho said: “It’s not Giggs responsible for these matches and I’m sorry about it.
“Because for the previous fixtures he called me, we spoke about Ben Davies – not Gareth because Gareth was not there – and we shared opinions on the situation, which is probably not going to happen this time.
“And the fact that one of the coaches is an Arsenal coach does not make me very comfortable. Honestly, it doesn’t make me very comfortable.
“National team matches should have coaches that work exclusively for them, not coaches who work for other clubs.”

The cross-Channel spy will be expecting to attend matches in France at all levels to unearth footballing gems.
United legend Cantona was signed from Leeds United in 1992.
He joined the Elland Road side after walking out of French team Nimes after chucking the ball at the ref and then calling the members of a disciplinary hearing ‘idiots’.
The Old Trafford side – lauded this season for having more homegrown stars in the first team side than any of their Premier League rivals – doesn’t reveal the salary but scouting roles within clubs can range from £25,000 to £100,000 for the top job.
Would-be applicants are told: “To act as a representative of the Club in the designated territory, responsible for accurately capturing and relying on a time basis, in-depth contextual knowledge of the players who are of the required standard for Manchester United’s First Team and Academy.”The advert says the successful applicant must: “Attend/observe games (live and video), complete scouting reports and assign performance assessments/rating on the players of interest to Manchester United.
“Attend/observe tournaments when directed or assigned to monitor a player/team. Proactively research territories to gain insights and background knowledge of the players that are of interest to Manchester United.
“Maintain up-to-date records, reports, player lists and positional matrix using the club data management system.

“To be in regular communication with the head of scouting operations to manage work flows, game assignments and travel arrangements.”
The successful person must have “Experience of working at the top level of professional football, with a track record of identifying and scouting elite players”.
The move follows reports United are close to appointing Crystal Palace recruitment specialist Jamahl Jarrett to their scouting team.
The 32-year-old is poised to become the lead scout for the South of England as the Red Devils continue their coaching and recruitment shake-up.
