United have appointed Michael Carrick as their head coach for the rest of the season as he takes over from interim manager Darren Fletcher who replaced former boss Ruben Amorim last week.
Holland could make a difference
Carrick will be joined by former England assistant manager Steve Holland, as well as Jonathan Woodgate, the former United defender Jonny Evans, Travis Binnion, the coach of their Under-21s, and Craig Mawson.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Keane was vocal about the club’s coaching choices and firstly praised the appointment of Holland who he says could help change the side.
“My point is, if Steve Holland is on the training pitch, at least you know they're going to get top class training sessions. I'm not saying they weren't before because they probably were as well. I don't know what Evans or Woodgate are like as coaches, don't know what Carrick is like as a coach.
“My point is he has a lot of experience, are you against the appointment of Steve Holland?”
How did Evans get the job?
However, Keane was keen to rip into Evans who he suggested isn’t ready for such a huge role, implying that he simply got the job as he is friends with Carrick.
'He's (Carrick) on the beach two weeks ago, Jonny Evans. Jonny Evans leaves Man United four or five weeks ago as a loans manager and then Darren Fletcher gives him a job, strangely enough gives him a job.
“He has two games, Fletch goes and Carrick gives him a job, great isn't it. We should all go to Barbados for a week.
“You're on about getting your coaching staff in, you're praising one of them saying he's experienced and then we just let the other two go, Jonathan Woodgate and Jonny Evans. What has Jonny Evans done to be a coach of Man United's first team?
“He left the job four weeks ago - loans manager and ironically comes back working with the first team. That's a big step up isn't it?”
United face Manchester City this weekend in Carrick’s first game in charge, which will be a very tough test for him and his new coaching staff who may need time to make any real changes.
