Despite the win, Roy Keane strongly criticized one famous Manchester United star, recalling a mistake in the game that he said was totally unacceptable.
On 18 May 2026, despite the victory, Roy Keane, the former star player who has become a football pundit, harshly criticized one Manchester United star, Ivory Coast attacker Ahmadi Diallo, recalling a mistake in the match that he found completely unacceptable in their 3-2 home win over Nottingham Forest the previous night.
The incident happened in the second half when Ahmadi Diallo made a mistake that allowed Elliott Anderson to steal the ball, then cross into the penalty area for Morato to head in the equalizer at 1-1. Although Michael Carrick's team went on to win and earn three points, the moment still drew Roy Keane's dissatisfaction.
Recently, Roy Keane said, "It's true that Elliott Anderson played excellently, especially with the equalizing goal he scored. But at that moment, the Manchester United player performed very poorly. Ahmadi Diallo lost the ball as easily as a child. When the ball was at Elliott Anderson's feet then, it was clear the home side was in trouble—and it turned out exactly that way."
