ROY KEANE praised Leeds’ courage before criticising their ‘stupidity’ after their first half performance against Manchester United.
The Whites’ Premier League reunion with their old foes got off to a disastrous start as Scott McTominay scored twice inside three minutes.
Bruno Fernandes then bagged a third on 20 minutes with Leeds’ defending all over the place.
And it threatened to turn into a drubbing when Victor Lindelof was left unmarked at the back post to make it four with 37 on the clock.
Leeds did give themselves a glimmer of hope on the stroke of half time when Liam Cooper headed home from a corner.
With much to analyse during the break, United legend Keane was eager to sink his teeth into Leeds’ performance.
He initially praised their persistence in attack by saying: “To be fair to Leeds, they’ve got a lot of courage…”
Before adding: “A lot of stupidity too. But they’ve been getting chances.”
Sky Sports host David Jones then quickly interrupting, reminding Keane that he should have instead used ‘naivety.’
Keane then responds: “Yea sorry, naivety. They deserved that goal, they have certainly kept going.
“For all their weaknesses, they have a lot of strengths, a lot of spirit and they’ll keep going.”
