MANCHESTER UNITED legend Roy Keane was visibly raging after the club’s emphatic 7-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday – and fans loved it.
The boiling 51-year-old suggested that he would “go into hiding” as a player had he experienced such a loss.
He told Sky Sports: “The senior players at Man United, the big players, the ones we give a big build-up to, the experienced players – they are the ones who let the club down today.
“When it was three or four, you take your medicine, you take your loss. The way they were so open, the manager tried to make substitutions, they threw the towel in.
“I try and imagine: If I had ever been beaten in a big game like this, I would go into hiding as a player. You would. Never mind a few days, a few months!
“It really is that embarrassing for the players. What can you do? That’s the game. They have to bounce back and they have a big European game in the middle of the week.”

A third said: “I’ve just put on my tv Roy Keane’s face is priceless bro!”
A fourth added: “Roy Keane’s face is a picture.”
While another person joked: “Imagine being sat next to Roy Keane and having to keep a straight face!”
Man Utd’s 7-0 loss to Liverpool is the club’s biggest-ever Premier League defeat – and worst loss since 1931.
HALF-TIME ANTICS
Keane also laid into the Manchester United team for their half-time antics.
He said: “The thing I’m always wary of with Man United, they won the cup last week, a lot of celebration and of course I’d never begrudge a team of that.
“But they turned up against West Ham, I’m at the game, and the circus is back in town at Man United.
“I was always wary of that as a player there: Keeping an eye on people, don’t get carried away because you know what this game can do to you.
“I see the players come here today in the second half, having a laugh and a joke.
“They’re 1-0 down at Anfield and they’re having laugh and a joke with the Anfield staff, goalkeeping coach. I don’t like to see all that rubbish.
“I think that circus can creep back in and the manager and senior players have to keep an eye on that.
“It was the same against West Ham the other night: A lot of presentations, celebrations. I understand one or two – but not four or five.
“West Ham let them off the hook, because they are not good enough.
“Today at half-time, there were players walking down the tunnel having a laugh and a joke.
“You’re 1-0 down at Anfield, this is a serious business.

“This is big boy stuff and forget all of this laughing and joking rubbish.
“And in the second half where there are some players throwing the towel in, you don’t expect them to be laughing at the end of the game.”
