    Roy Keane told West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola to “come out with violence” after the Hammers’ FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

    David Moyes’ side took the lead in the second half through a wonderful strike from Said Benrahma, but capitulated in the closing stages of the contest. An own goal from West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd brought Erik ten Hag’s men level, before a wonderful strike from Alejandro Garnacho and a breakaway goal from Fred in injury time secured a 3-1 victory for the Red Devils.

    “I have seen it over the years, but it’s laughable.”
