Roy Keane hears it after slaughtering Harry Maguire.
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been one of the biggest chickens for the weak results of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s crew lately.
However, the midfielder got a long-awaited boost when he scored England’s opening goal in the 5-0 victory in the World Cup qualifier against Albania on Friday.
But Manchester United legend Roy Keane still found something to criticize Maguire for after his goal. After the score, the 28-year-old was seen celebrating by touching both ears before slipping on his knees towards the sideline.

Keane, who has been one of Maguire’s biggest critics lately, was not impressed with Maguire’s performance after the Wembley goal.
– He touches his ears and thinks he silences the critics, but I think it’s embarrassing. He has been a disgrace in recent months for Manchester United. He thinks he will silence his critics if he scores there. Flaut, was Keane’s harsh verdict in the broadcast to British ITV.
Keane is known for being an expert who does not go around the porridge, and who is not afraid to criticize both players and managers.

Responds to Keane’s criticism
But in this case, former Aston Villa star Gabriel Agbonlahor thinks Keane went too far.
– I have seen the quotes and the video of Roy Keane, and I think Roy Keane is a big bully there, he says to Talksport, and continues:

– I think it is bullying because Harry Maguire has been under a lot of pressure after some not very good performances for Manchester United.
Agbonlahor believes Maguire did nothing wrong and was just happy to have scored a goal.
– This was the next match that was possible for him to show that he is a good midfielder. Yes, it’s Albania, but still, he did a good job. He scores, is happy to score – then you will celebrate, he says.
According to Agbonlahor, Maguire’s celebration is completely normal for a player going through a difficult period.
– If I went through a period of bad form and scored a goal, I would celebrate in the same way. The hands to the ears to say: “I will try to make a good performance”, and he did, says the former Aston Villa striker.

This is what Maguire says about the celebration
After the match against Albania, Maguire was asked about the celebration, and said that it “came naturally”.
– It was a nice ball from Reece. We have worked with it, we knew about the areas we could utilize and all credit to the support staff for that. I slipped on my knees when I celebrated, it just came naturally to me. It’s a great feeling to score for my country, he said, according to The Mirror.
Maguire claims that the celebration was not aimed at anyone.
– It was not for anyone, it just came naturally to me to do it, he said.
Maguire and England play the last match in the World Cup qualifiers on Monday night. If they take points against San Marino, they are guaranteed to go to the World Cup in 2022 even if Poland were to win their match against Hungary. The match starts at 20.45.
