'The top players turn up for the big occasions': Roy Keane insists Man United's Bruno Fernandes shouldn't be compared to Eric Cantona... after claiming the midfielder failed to show up in Carabao Cup defeat by Man City

Roy Keane has criticised Bruno Fernandes for failing to turn up during Manchester United's Carabao Cup defeat by rivals City, insisting he definitely shouldn't be held in the same regard as Eric Cantona.

United crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage, losing 2-0 to Pep Guardiola's side at Old Trafford following goals in the second half from John Stones and Fernandinho.

Fernandes - who has been so influential for United since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 - produced a subdued display in midfield as United had no answers to City's superiority.
