"I'm not sure he's got a heart" - Manchester United great Roy Keane doubles down on Angel Di Maria criticism

Gary Neville and Roy Keane criticised Angel Di Maria at half-time of Argentina's 2-0 win over Mexico, with the former claiming he is Manchester United's "biggest disappointment".

Argentina got back to winning ways on Saturday evening, as they beat Mexico at Lusail Stadium. Lionel Scaloni's side knew that defeat would see them crash out of the World Cup following their shocking 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening match.

Sumptuous finishes from Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez in the second-half saw Argentina claim all three points, as their breathtaking attacking talent was once again on display. However, both Keane and Neville were in agreement over Di Maria's performance at half-time, after the 34-year-old struggled to get up to speed with the pace of the game.

The former United winger, who left for Paris Saint-Germain in 2015 after just one season at Old Trafford, found himself in the firing line at the break.

"He is the biggest disappointment to ever come to Manchester United, him… he’s got no heart," Neville told ITV.

Keane, who also criticised Di Maria for his defending in the build-up to Saudi Arabia's winning goal on Tuesday, added: "He’d break your heart, I’m not sure he’s got one. Go on and do something. He’s guaranteed to give it [the ball] away. He’s running into bodies, he’s not getting his head up. Look at his career... he’s had some great moves, gone for a lot of money, but watching him out there... take him off. His end product and decision making for an experienced player is so poor."
