Chris Sutton has told Roy Keane he was too nice with his Manchester United criticism and said he did not go far enough - telling him that there are 10 players do not deserve to play for the club.
The Red Devils legend was furious at full-time in the Sky Sports studio after watching his old side swatted aside with ease by Manchester City.
The Premier League champions obliterated their local rivals at the Etihad on Sunday in a 4-1 win, with braces from Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez.
And Pep Guardiola’s side barely broke a sweat in doing so, further stamping their authority in Manchester as the dominant side.

It left Keane seething in his post-match analysis and he insisted that there were “four or five” players who should never pull on the United shirt again.
But ex-Celtic star Sutton believes his old Parkhead teammate was modest with his criticism and went one step further.
He told the Daily Mail : “I might be the first person to ever utter these words but here goes: Roy Keane was kind.
“He said 'five or six' should never play for Manchester United again. I'd say that's modest.
“United fans want to see their team competing for the Premier League and Champions League.
“If we're basing our decisions on who's good enough to make them an elite club again, then we could hit double figures in terms of who gets binned. Their performance at the Etihad was embarrassing.
“Manchester City are fantastic, but I can't remember a side having 92 per cent possession as they did after the third goal in their 4-1 win. These clubs are neighbours but there is a gulf between them.”
Sutton went on to name the 10 players that he would bin off at Old Trafford immediately, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire.
As well as the named trio, the 48-year-old included Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Alex Telles, Fred, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard on his bin-list.
On the United captain, the BT Sport pundit said: “Instead of clearing the danger after Foden's shot was saved, Maguire let the ball run through his legs, not realising Bernardo Silva was storming in for the rebound.
“I’m surprised that wasn't highlighted more amid the analysis of De Bruyne's second goal. Maguire's £80m move to United hasn't worked out. He's not the Virgil van Dijk they hoped he was.”
And in his evaluation of Rashford, Sutton remarked: “Reports have suggested he wants out. If that's the case, off you pop.
“If Rashford is looking for someone to blame for his United career going downhill then he should look at himself.
“Ronaldo was out, Edinson Cavani was out and yet he didn't start against City. Ask yourself why.”
While speaking about Ronaldo, the former Norwich striker said: “Extraordinary player with an extraordinary ego. I questioned United's move for Ronaldo, fearing his presence would have a detrimental impact.
“I see this as more of a commercial signing than a smart one in terms of tactics. He's 37 now and it's time to move on.”
