Manchester United legend Roy Keane pointed out a key concern in the wake of the Red Devils' abysmal derby defeat against Manchester City on Sunday. Erling Haaland scored a brace, while Jeremy Doku provided two assists as Pep Guardiola's side returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over their rivals at home.
United's nightmare start to new season
After finishing 15th in the Premier League and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham last season, United spent heavily to rebuild their squad and especially strengthened their attack. However, the summer spending has not proved fruitful yet as the club have won just one out of their first four league games and have also crashed out of the Carabao Cup second round after losing against fourth-tier Grimsby Town.

Former United captain and pundit Roy Keane discussed United's loss in the derby as he said on "My worry is maybe the players haven’t got that much faith in it. As much as the manager is saying ‘this is where we are going’, as the results don’t come and you are getting beaten by the better teams, he is making loads of changes. It is like they are going round in circles.
"We gave him the benefit of the doubt when he first came in. You talk about the system but the manager is sticking to his guns, he is not budging. You look at the results and the points per game, goals for and against. It is not good reading. It does concern me."
Amorim won't change tactics
Despite facing criticism for his 3-4-3 system, which has failed so far, the Red Devils boss claimed after the derby that the club would have to sack him before he changes his tactics and formation.
