‘Daniel [Sturridge] has saying he could have given him a better pass… listen, know your players.’

But you’re passing to a Premier League footballer, an international player,’ he hit back.

‘He’s not going to give you the perfect pass. Expect a bobble into you. Obviously, it’s Harry Maguire…

Keane was pleased with the spirit and togetherness United’s players display in their draw at Anfield, which came after four straight defeats in all competitions.
