Roy Keane sent a reminder to Liverpool, their players and their supporters, after Man United rallied from 3-2 down to win an FA Cup classic.
Ahead of the game, heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury, who is a United supporter, told ITV, “Hopefully Man United can turn the clock back, and smash ’em.” Fury urged United to go all-out attack against Liverpool, and the players did just that.
Liverpool had United on the rack, for long periods of the second half, but could not find the killer goal. Antony was sprung from the United bench and equalised, late on, before Marcus Rashford squandered a late chance to win it. The game went into extra time and Harvey Elliott put Liverpool back in front, but United were not done.
“United showed character and personality, we’ve not seen that for a while and it was very nice to see today,” Keane told ITV after the see-saw FA Cup quarter-final. “Liverpool controlled the game, but they were so sloppy with their passing. We’ve been so critical of United this season but Old Trafford is bouncing. An incredible game.”
That line was a timely reminder of Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk and his criticisms, at Anfield, when the sides drew 0-0 in the Premier League.
