Roy Keane was not buying into the Declan Rice hype and said the midfielder needs to 'do more'.
The Ireland legend was on ITV's FA Cup coverage on Wednesday night for Manchester United's clash against West Ham.
Erik Ten Hag's side ran out 3-1 winners with two injury-time goals.
But before the game. Keane was asked about Declan Rice and did not hold back.
He said on ITV: "I don't think he's been that good. "I don't think he's been great this season. He's not really kicked on, you know, for all the talk about him, a lot of good PR coming out of West Ham about his price.
"I think he needs to do a lot more. He doesn't get enough goals... doesn't get enough assists. He needs to do a lot more.
"We'll see what he's like now tonight. And listen, I've been a fan of him. He turns up every week, and he's always fit, but I just want a bit more from him.
"There's talk of him, he's gonna be leaving for big money and going to one of the bigger clubs who will be competing for trophies obviously and playing in the Champions League... He needs to do a lot more. It's as simple as that.
"I want to look at him closely tonight. Listen, you gotta turn up sometimes. I see him in games at West Ham, and I'm not saying he's playing badly... but sometimes he's just going through the motions. Sidewards, backwards, taking the easy option.
"He needs to do a lot more to match some of the top midfielders in the country."
