'The triple somersault, he's a disgrace' -- Roy Keane let Ashley Young have it with both barrels last night

“If he’s a Man United player I’m a Chinaman,” says Roy.

ROY KEANE HELD absolutely nothing back when it came to Ashley Young last night, branding the Manchester United winger/wing-back “a disgrace”.

Young was guilty of diving over a CSKA Moscow defender on Tuesday as Keane’s former club struggled to break a deadlock with the Russian side.

Though Louis van Gaal’s men eventually did seal the three points with a powerful late Wayne Rooney header, Young’s simulation irked Keane.

“Seen it before far too many times, I think the guy is a disgrace,” Ireland’s assistant manager said in his punditry role with ITV. 

“If he’s a Man United player I’m a Chinaman, absolute disgrace, he’s done it far too many times.

“Look at that,” he pointed at a replay, absolute disgrace. I just hope players are getting hold of him, whether it be the manager, some of the senior players, that shouldn’t be accepted at Man United, that’s absolutely disgraceful.

“That’s not leaving your leg, that’s different, the triple somersault he does, he’s a disgrace. The other players need to get hold of him saying you don’t behave like that playing for Man United. Maybe if he did it once or twice – but he’s done it nine or 10 times and he’s done it at his previous clubs.”
