Roy keane and micah richards agree on man utd blame in europa league final

MANCHESTER UNITED FOUND THEMSELVES 1-0 DOWN TO TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR AT HALF-TIME IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL ON WEDNESDAY 08:33, 22 May 2025 Roy Keane and Micah Richards have agreed on who was

at fault for Tottenham Hotspur's opening goal in the Europa League final against Manchester United. Spurs took the lead just before half-time through forward Brennan Johnson. The former

Nottingham Forest player got in front of defender Luke Shaw in the six-yard box and poked home with a scrappy finish. And former Reds midfielder Keane and ex-Manchester City defender

Richards believe that United centre-back Harry Maguire was at fault for the goal in Bilbao. "Huge moment but a real lack of quality," Keane said on CBS Golazo. "They have

almost brought their league form to the table, but there's been tension obviously. "Spurs have managed to get their noses in front. Big, big moment obviously, we are giving Johnson

the goal, but I think it might have come off Shaw. "We mentioned before the game about getting bodies in there, United have got bodies back, but not obviously doing a defensive job. We

look at it closely, we saw crosses, in-swingers, earlier. I think Maguire has got to focus on clearing the ball. Article continues below "Johnson does a brilliant run, nice and

aggressive but United have enough bodies back but not doing enough. "I think, yeah, question marks over the goalkeeper. It looks like an OG (own-goal) to me." Richard also pointed

out the role of goalkeeper Andre Onana. He said: "I think Maguire should just come across, I think Onana needs to do better there. "It was exactly what we said before the game in

terms of those runs, you see the runs that took Fernandes away and then allowed that channel, space and then they were always going to get hurt." _Here at The Manchester Evening News,
