(Dan Tri) – Former Man Utd star Roy Keane said that the `Red Devils` victory over Everton with a strong score of 3-0 is nothing to be proud of if you look at the Premier League rankings right now.
`What is there to be proud of after winning? Man Utd is currently ranked 6th, if you go back a few years ago, if you were ranked 6th, how embarrassed would you be?` Roy Keane expressed on Sky Sport channel after the victory.

19-year-old striker Alejandro Garnacho opened the score for Man Utd after just 3 minutes of rolling the ball with a super kick `upside down bicycle`.
Defeating Everton right at Goodison Park, coach Erik Ten Hag’s team rose one place on the rankings, with 6th place after round 13 of the Premier League and still 4 points away from the top 4.
`Obviously they seem satisfied with 6th place. They have a long way to go. Man Utd has to compete with the strongest teams, including Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal.
It’s not good enough with the talent they have.

Despite Roy Keane’s criticism, coach Ten Hag seemed to feel relieved that his team was able to win 5th in the last 6 matches in the Premier League, although the season ahead still remains.
After the victory against Everton, Man Utd will have to switch to the goal of competing for a ticket to the 1/8 round of the Champions League with an away match at Galatasaray’s field in Istanbul in the middle of this week (November 30).
The Dutch strategist expressed his joy at seeing striker Marcus Rashford score again after a `quiet` start to the season.
When asked how much Rashford needed a goal against Everton, Ten Hag appreciated captain Bruno Fernandes’s action of giving the penalty kick to Rashford: `A lot. You can also see how great captain Bruno is.`
Bruno will definitely score, but he puts his trust in Rashy, who is a very good penalty taker.
Take that ball and be confident.
