Richard Keys mocked Manchester United after their hard-fought 0-0 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and insisted ‘Crystal Palace could have done’ the same as Erik ten Hag’s side.
The controversial figure wasn’t impressed as United survived a potential at drubbing against their fiercest rivals where they had lost 7-0 last season.

‘They deserve credit and that’s the most important thing. Not a lot of people had given us a chance here, even I had doubts thinking can we score a goal, get a point? I would be delighted with those things?
