ROY KEANE has torn into Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire and mocked his apologies to fans.
United have spent a week in turmoil following the 5-0 humiliation at the hands of arch rivals Liverpool.
Maguire has appeared on TV to say sorry to supporters and insist his men are ready to bounce back against Tottenham.
But hard-man Keane - who himself skippered United from 1997 to 2005 - said he was sick of hearing excuses after a string of awful performances.
Keane said on Sky Sports ahead of United's trip to Spurs: “What Man United have always had over the years is players with character and personalities.
“I don't see it with this group. I heard Maguire talking during the week, he was like a robot.
“He was like (English accent): ‘Apologies to the fans’, with no emotion behind it.
“These guys are coming off the back of a good European Championship for England.

“They've turned up before for big matches. I'm fed up with the chat after games and people apologising.
“Harry Maguire says ‘we need to come together as a group’.
“No, you need to sort your game out if you're going to be the leader of that group. Get the basics right and do your own job.
“People say he might not be fit, he gave a goal away against Leicester a couple of weeks ago.
“It's nothing to do with fitness, just a lack of professionalism and not doing his job properly.”
