Manchester United legend Roy Keane has publicly criticized a current England Premier League star for diving during matches in the ongoing 2025/26 season. Keane's comments came as the Premier League teams have played two rounds, with fans and analysts assessing players and team performances ahead of the new season. Arsenal currently lead the table with impressive victories, while West Ham languish at the bottom.
Keane singled out one England international whose performances in the opening fixtures have not impressed him, suggesting the player’s behavior on the pitch, specifically diving, was disappointing. This criticism is significant as the player is being considered for selection by England manager Thomas Tuchel, who is soon to announce the national squad for the upcoming international break.
The second round of league matches included a highly intense and dramatic Liverpool victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park. In this game, Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon was sent off following a serious foul on Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk. Such incidents have also shaped early perceptions of players’ form and discipline this season.
Keane’s blunt assessment highlights ongoing debate over player conduct and the challenges of maintaining sportsmanship in top-tier football. His remarks have attracted attention given his stature in the game as a former captain of Manchester United and a noted pundit known for forthright opinions.
