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.
United arrived low on confidence and struggling for form after crashing out of the Champions League earlier in the week, but left Merseyside having become the first team to stop Liverpool winning at Anfield this season.
Visiting manager Ten Hag insisted after the match that he was 'very proud' of his team's battling performance. Keys insists United only avoided defeat because Liverpool didn't play well.
'Manchester United, well done. Crystal Palace could have done that,' Keys sarcastically quipped on beIN SPORTS coverage of the match.
'That's a triumph then for Manchester United. They will feel that's the type of form that will take them on to win the league.
'Where they are is comparative to where Crystal Palace are? Lets not get too carried away, if Liverpool had played well - and they didn't they would have one that game.
'Their passing was slow, they were overplaying, Alexander-Arnold is another debate whether he should be playing in there or not,' he said.
Former United striker Dwight Yorke was in the studio alongside Keys and fought his former employers corner as they came under criticism from the show's host,
Yorke scored 152 goals for United during his time at the club and also won three Premier League crowns, the Champions League and an FA Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
The 52-year-old blasted Keys' critical comments and fumed that 'not a lot of people had given' United a chance at Anfield prior to the match.
'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?
Keys had the last word: 'Wow well done Manchester United.'

Criticism goes both ways - negatively and positively. United should have scored. They had a couple of clear chances. Why aren't these pundits mentioning anything about that?

But klop said before the match that he wanted to see a good game and United gave him a good game he wanted as I said before that over confidence will kill Liverpool at the end what happened now they're eating there word's I still say United should give ten hag time to address his mistakes on transfer and the dressing room United will be a force rem Liverpool gave klop like five to seven season before Liverpool reached where they're thus last season preformed badly but media utd and ten hag who is in his second season utd will bounce back it's a matter of time city is suffering but the media doesn't see that all there eyes are on United
It's not over confidence it's over park the bus

Who's this Keys? Judging from the distance I guess he has lost his keys. He say Liverpool didn't play well, really? Are you kidding me can you have a record of 34 shots on goal and yet you're not playing well? Can that happen? Keys let me give you an advice. Onana decided to start keeping clean sheets there at your merseyside broer just accept it. Give credit to Onana and the United defence that's all. As for comparing us to Crystal Palace that's an insult on its own but we'll leave it there. You as Liverpool supporter you wanted to be granted points for free so that you can come and dance and boast to us that you're a good team. Shut up
Because united never come out to play, but he's right liverpool didn't actually play well enough that not a lie

you should not expect less from him as a Liverpool fan he didn't get the desired result it's normal for him to criticize man united. in as much as I'm not a man united fan nor a Ten hag fan I'll say it's a good result for man united it will boost their confidence they'll want to improve from there as for mentioning Crystal palace I don't think he insulted man united for me he disrespected Crystal palace and should apologize to them.

Such a fool. In that match, Man United deserved the accolades for getting a draw with that lineup and an eventual red card. Keys should be ashamed of himself!

Keys know nuts about football tactics and game plan. Spouting nonsense without analysing the whole football game. When Ten Hag go into this game knowingly that Liverpool will attack virgourously, he had to devise a plan to stop that and he did it successfully. So give the man credit when due and not talk run him and the team down. Just realised that Liverpool are not good enough or lucky on this day!
