Roy Keane on Manchester United walking

Roy Keane looked at a table showing Manchester United ranked 20th for sprints without possession and called Rio Ferdinand to discuss the numbers. The data shows 51% of the time, players walk when they do not have the ball. Neither he nor Ferdinand had an immediate answer for why this was happening. Keane stated he does not want tactics, identity, or shorter training sessions as solutions. He argued that players must hunt for the ball rather than stroll when it is out of their possession. Last season they ran with ugly, honest effort while Casemiro sat there making it a job. This squad waits, then walks, leading to a draw against Fulham and a cup exit after leading two-nil at home. Keane suggested removing team buses so players would be forced to sprint if they wanted a ride home. He characterized the team's performance as lacking desire, noting you cannot name it Carrick-ball if half the time you are walking without the ball.
