Kalvin Phillips faced another setback in his bid for redemption with West Ham, and Roy Keane didn't hold back in his criticism. The midfielder, who recently joined the Hammers on loan, had a disappointing start with a shaky debut against Bournemouth.
Phillips, who struggled to find his place at Manchester City, aimed for a fresh start with West Ham. However, things took a turn for the worse during his appearance at Old Trafford. Coming off the bench in the 72nd minute, Phillips' mistake led to United's third goal, sealing West Ham's fate.
Roy Keane, expressing his displeasure on Sky Sports, didn't mince words in his assessment of Phillips' performance.
He said: "And then listen Phillips, I don't know what he's trying. The way I look at it, he's sluggish. But you've got to get punished and I think McTominay does really well here because it's just a nice weighted pass, three nil."
"I just think he comes at the wrong angle. We can make excuses for him but he's come at the wrong angle trying to shield people. Credit to McTominay, nice and aggressive. Game over."
