‘Do your job, this is big boy stuff’ – Roy Keane fumes at Wan-Bissaka for role in Nketiah’s Arsenal equaliser


ROY KEANE ripped into Aaron Wan-Bissaka for his part in Arsenal’s equaliser during Man Utd’s 3-2 defeat on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford gave the Red Devils an early lead at the Emirates as he brilliantly fired home from 25 yards out.

But their advantage lasted just eight minutes as Eddie Nketiah levelled things up for Arsenal with a close-range header.

Co-commentator Gary Neville took aim at right-back Wan-Bissaka, 25, for his part in relinquishing possession before the passage of play which led to the Gunners’ goal.

And at half-time, Man Utd legend Keane then picked apart his failure to track Nketiah when the Arsenal forward wandered in to head past David de Gea.

Wan-Bissaka was marking Nketiah but did not go with him as he attacked the six-yard box.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane, 51, said: “Considering we praise him saying he’s a good defender…

“This is big boy stuff, big moments. Do your job. Go and attack the ball.”

Agreeing with Keane, one person on social media said: “Yes, it was awful… and Wan-Bissaka needs to work on winning aerial duels more, winning ground duels isn’t enough.”

While another added: “I’m not surprised. AWB was asleep.”

Arsenal went in front after the break through Bukayo Saka, before Lisandro Martinez levelled things up once more.

Nketiah then clinched the game for the hosts late on, stabbing home to help regain the Gunners’ five-point lead at the top of the table.

Meanwhile, Wan-Bissaka has returned to Erik ten Hag’s starting line-up in recent weeks following Diogo Dalot’s injury.

He has started each of United’s six Premier League games since the World Cup.

And Ten Hag’s side had conceded just two goals in those six matches ahead of their trip to North London on Sunday.

But a brace from Nketiah and a superb Saka strike dampened United’s spirits as they fell 11 points behind the league leaders.
