‘You can’t count Weghorst!’: Richard Keys throws ANOTHER hint at Man United’s Dutch striker as he insists Red Devils played with 10 men against Fulham, and claims Cottagers would have won at Old Trafford if Aleksandar Mitrovic hadn’t I would have done that. lost control’
- Man United came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday
- The match turned when Fulham saw two players sent off in a matter of seconds.
- Keys has hit out at Weghorst, claiming United played with 10 men the entire game
Richard Keys has attacked Wout Weghorst once again, claiming the striker might as well not have been on the pitch for Manchester United’s 3-1 FA Cup win against Fulham on Sunday.
Keys labeled Weghorst United the “worst player of all time” earlier this month following the team’s humiliating 7-0 defeat at Liverpool, but Erik ten Hag has continued to support the Dutch striker.
Weghorst started against Fulham, but United struggled for long periods at Old Trafford and deservedly fell behind when Aleksandar Mitrovic scored early in the second half for the visitors.
However, the match became an incident, with Willian sent off and awarded a penalty for touching Jadon Sancho’s shot on the goal line. Following the game-changing decision, Mitrovic received his marching orders for shoving referee Chris Kavanagh, while Fulham boss Marco Silva also received a red card.
Keys believes Mitrovic’s sending off was the death blow for Fulham, insisting Willian’s red card would only have evened the numbers, as Weghorst offered nothing.
Richard Keys feels Man United played with 10 men against Fulham while Wout Weghorst was on the pitch
Keys has beaten Weghorst before, and now he’s directed another dig at the Dutch striker.
Keys believes Fulham could have won at Old Trafford with 10 men, but Aleksandar Mitrovic let him down by being sent off
“Having rebuked some, let’s give credit to Chris Kavanagh for his handling of a mess that all of Fulham made at Old Trafford,” Keys wrote in his Blog.
‘What were they thinking? Never has a team been more guilty of wasting a game. Ninety seconds of madness cost them.
“The way United were playing, I would have liked Fulham to win them with 10 anyway.” Firing Willian only made things right. United only had 10 in. You can’t count Weghorst.
“When he lost control, Mitrovic cost Fulham any chance of winning the game.”
Mitrovic now faces a lengthy ban for his actions, and Sportsmail’s Chris Sutton believes he deserves a suspension of at least 10 games.
Keys agrees that Mitrovic deserves to be severely punished, but also feels that Bruno Fernandes, who scored twice in United’s comeback comeback at the weekend, should have been penalized for shoving a linesman at Anfield in early March. .
‘Mitrovic should be banned for a while for his ridiculous attack on the referee. What was going through his mind? They asked the keys.
“It was an irony that Fernandes got a pair because he should be serving a penalty.
‘I still don’t know how he escaped an FA charge after he roughed up the assistant at Anfield. The FA were weak and should have charged him.
