Furious Roy Keane points finger at Man Utd star for role in Brennan Johnson goal

Roy Keane has pointed the figure at Harry Maguire for his role in the goal that ultimately decided the final. 's Brennan Johnson scored a scrappy goal to down in Bilbao.

His effort was bundled in just before half-time as the likes of Maguire, and Patrick Dorgu were unable to stop the Welshman. United were well below par at the San Mames as their horrific season reached a new low.

Ruben Amorim's side currently sit 16th in the - and could drop even further on the final day - with their last remaining hope coming in Europe before Wednesday night's defeat. It means they will have no European football of any form for just the second time in three decades.

Nearly all of their players have failed to deliver this term and it was Maguire who was singled out for his role in the winning goal. Keane insisting that the centre-half made some poor calls and needed to try and clear the ball - but also confessed Andre Onana should've done better.

He said on : "It’s a huge moment. There was a real lack of quality and they’ve [United] almost brought their league form to the table, but there’s been tension, obviously, and Spurs managed to get their noses in front. We mentioned before the game about getting bodies in there, United having bodies back, but not obviously not doing defensive job.

"I think Maguire has got to focus on clearing the ball. Johnson does a brilliant run, obviously nice and aggressive. United have enough bodies back but they are not doing enough. Again, there are question marks over the goalkeeper."

Johnson's goal proved to be the match winner in a game that lacked chances and Keane claims didn't have to do "anything extraordinary" to get the crucial goal as he continued to rip into the United defence."Spurs aren’t doing anything extraordinary, it’s all pretty simple play," he said.

"That’s where you have to be really critical of United’s defensive shape and decision-making. We discussed before the game, when it does go wide and the ball’s put in… players not doing their jobs, not concentrating, [Luke] Shaw maybe not match fit, Maguire focussed on his man. Remember there’s only one ball. Just focus on the ball sometimes.

"We ask our defenders, people talk about midfielders doing their job… you’ve got to multitask. You’ve got to be able to do this [grapple] and still clear the ball. It’s as if like, 'I’ve got my man here!', but no, you’ve got to multitask and do more than one job."
