Roy Keane slams Man Utd keeper Lammens after 4-4 Villa draw leaves Red Devils in relegation zone

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has torn into goalkeeper Senne Lammens after the Red Devils threw away a lead to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday. Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said Lammens' current form is 'hurting the team' after he conceded four goals at home.

'If you are giving up four goals at home, you make it so hard for yourself,' Keane said. 'The goalkeeper was doing very well last season, making a lot of big saves; he's not doing that. He has to do better. It doesn't help if your goalkeeper is not making saves; that hurts the team a lot.'

The result leaves Michael Carrick's side sitting 18th in the Premier League table—in the relegation zone—after failing to beat Villa. United's defensive frailties are now a major concern with Lammens, who was a standout last season, struggling to replicate his form.

For Nigerian fans following the EPL, this raises questions about United's season trajectory. Can Carrick turn it around? Will Lammens regain his shot-stopping ability? With United in the drop zone, every point matters.

Is this a goalkeeper crisis or a systemic defensive collapse? And can United climb out of the relegation zone before the January transfer window?
