Manchester United flops hit with ‘non-league’ jibe from Arsenal legend

Arsenal legend Martin Keown sharply criticized Manchester United's defending following their chaotic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, stating it would not even be seen in non-league football. Speaking on talkSPORT, Keown questioned whether the club is sleepwalking into relegation, citing fearful defending and a lack of player motivation after they twice fell behind by two goals at Old Trafford.

Manchester United sits 18th in the Premier League table with only one win from their first 10 matches under manager Michael Carrick. United salvaged a point through stoppage-time goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu, after earlier strikes by Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans responded to Villa goals from Alysson, Nicolas Jackson, John McGinn, and Leon Goretzka. Carrick defended his side's broader display, blaming specific lapses in concentration for the dropped points.
