Roy Keane believes Manchester United are “in trouble” after yet another away defeat.

United’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday was their fifth away defeat of the season in all competitions.

It also means that manager Erik ten Hag has yet to win a Premier League away game against a team ranked ninth or above.

Away Results for Manchester United Against the Top 9 EPL Teams Under Erik Ten Hag

A list of Manchester United’s away results against the top nine teams in the Premier League table, as noted by Erik ten Hag.

Former United captain Keane told Sky Sports on Sunday, after seeing Ten Hag’s away record against the EPL’s top nine, “That looks ugly.” It’s the number of goals – six for City, seven for Liverpool, and four for Brentford.

“This is not good, this is not good. They’re definitely in a difficult situation, and the manager is under pressure.

“There were players who played for United last night who you thought were going to leave the club in the summer.” But you’re still using the same players who have gotten United nowhere fast in the last year or two.

“What is the sign of insanity?” Repeating the same action and expecting a different result.

“This bunch will not change. You’re in trouble if they don’t work as hard as the opposition… and they don’t.”

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes his old club is “in trouble.”

United finished seventh in the Premier League rankings during the weekend, and they are the only team in the top half with a negative goal difference.

This season, the Red Devils have also suffered in the UEFA Champions League. Ten Hag’s men are bottom of UCL Group A after five games in Europe.

United’s next three games are all at home, with Chelsea, Bournemouth, and Bayern Munich all visiting Old Trafford before Ten Hag takes his squad to Anfield to face Liverpool on December 17.
