Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has harshly criticised midfielder Mason Mount, calling his recent performance “schoolboy level.” Keane said Mount failed to show awareness and strength in midfield during United’s match, describing his mistakes as too basic for a player of his experience. His comments have again sparked debate about Mount’s form and his contribution to the team.

Keane explained that Mount struggled to control the tempo of the game and lost possession too easily in key moments. According to him, these errors placed pressure on Manchester United’s defence and made the team look disorganised. He stressed that such mistakes are unacceptable in top-flight football, especially for a club trying to rebuild confidence.

He also suggested that Mount needs to take more responsibility on the pitch and show greater urgency. Keane argued that a midfielder at Manchester United should play with authority and make smart decisions under pressure. Fans have echoed similar concerns, questioning whether Mount has fully settled into the squad.

The criticism adds more tension to the ongoing discussions about United’s inconsistent performances this season. Many supporters believe the team needs stronger leadership and improved midfield discipline. Mount, meanwhile, will be under pressure to respond with better displays in upcoming matches to silence his critics.
