Roy Keane makes Erik ten Hag sack prediction following United's win at Wigan

That is according to club legend Roy Keane, who was less than impressed by what the Dutchman had to say after the 2-0 win at Wigan on Monday night.

The Red Devils sealed their place in the FA Cup fourth round thanks to goals from Portuguese pair Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, where they will face either Newport County or Eastleigh.

United went into the clash at the DW Stadium having won just once in six games in all competitions.

Following the victory, Ten Hag insisted that it remains a 'project' at Old Trafford as he spoke of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's £1.25billion investment.

He said: "It is an inspiration. Everyone is optimistic. There is a lot of work to do. We've had a lot of setbacks and I think in the summer we were in a good way.

"But it is a journey, it is a project and now we have to deal with some setbacks but we will keep alive, survive it and strike back."

His comments didn't sit well with Keane, who stated his use of the 'dreaded' word leaves him in a perilous position.

Speaking on ITV, Keane was asked whether he sees the DNA Ten Hag is trying to implement on the United team.

To which he said: "No, not really. I think that's the problem with United, you know what you're going to get when you turn up.
