"What is there to be proud of after the victory? Man Utd are currently ranked 6th, if you go back a few years, if you were ranked 6th you would feel ashamed," Roy Keane expressed on Sky Sport channel after Man Utd's victory over Everton with a score of 3-0 on the evening of November 26 in round 13 of the Premier League.

19-year-old striker Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring for Man Utd after just 3 minutes with a bicycle kick. However, the match was only decided in the second half when the "Red Devils" scored 2 more goals thanks to Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.
Defeating Everton right at Goodison Park, coach Erik Ten Hag's team climbed one place in the rankings, with 6th place after round 13 of the Premier League and still 4 points away from the top 4 group.
"Obviously they seem happy with sixth place. They have a long way to go. Man Utd have to compete with the best teams. That includes Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal.
It's not good enough for the talent they have. Look, they're in a good position but the reason you play for Man Utd is to compete with the top teams," Roy Keane said.

Despite Roy Keane's criticism, manager Ten Hag seemed relieved that his team were able to win their fifth in their last six Premier League games, despite the long and difficult season ahead.
After the victory over Everton, Man Utd will have to move on to compete for a ticket to the Champions League round of 16 with an away match at Galatasaray in Istanbul in the middle of this week (November 30).
The Dutch tactician expressed his joy at seeing striker Marcus Rashford scoring again after a "quiet" start to the season.
Asked how much Rashford needed to score against Everton, Ten Hag praised captain Bruno Fernandes for giving Rashford the penalty: "A lot. You can also see how great captain Bruno is when he senses that his team-mate needs that goal.
Bruno will definitely score, but he puts his faith in Rashy, who is a very good penalty taker.
Take that ball and be confident. As a team, you need that leadership. You support each other and give each other confidence because you need that to have a successful season," coach Ten Hag affirmed.
