Foden Did Not Impress Tuchel Vs Albania – Roy Keane

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has come out to warn Phil Foden that he could lose his place in the England starting XI after a poor showing against Albania. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Foden not scoring or having a shot on target against a poor Albanian team is bad for his international career because Tuchel picked him to affect the game however he can.

Keane added that Phil might be lacking in confidence when he has to make a good impression on his new manager.

His words, “If you’re one of those attacking players and you’ve come off the pitch and dominated a game like that against a poor Albanian team and you’ve not scored a goal, not had a shot on target, you’ve not tested the goalkeeper, you’d be disappointed because you’re there to affect games. You’ve got a new manager and you want to make a good impression. Rashford and Foden certainly didn’t do that tonight.

I think he [Foden] might be lacking in confidence and he’s definitely off it, his club form is not great. We know he’s got that quality, usually when Foden is at his best you’re going, ‘something’s going to happen’, even when he cuts in he picks a pass out, gets a shot away. He done none of that tonight, every time he gets the ball now I don’t expect anything from Foden at the moment.

You can’t go down that road, wherever he’s playing you affect the game and he didn’t do that tonight. Listen, Foden won’t have that problem coming up about where he wants to play because he won’t be playing, that’s a bigger problem for him.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
