The Manchester derby is regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in the Premier League, but City were alarmingly comfortable winners at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.Even Solskjaer admitted following the game that City are the new kings of Manchester.And McCoist believes their 2-0 victory shows just how far United are behind their biggest rivals. Speaking on Thursdays Sports Breakfast, the Scotland legend said: To win the title, youve got to say Manchester City and Liverpool are so far ahead of United its unbelievable.Looking at them just now, theyre a team that will challenge for the champions league places, third, fourth, fifth and sixth, but no more than that.You just look at the squads, Manchester City and Liverpool have got better football players and are by far and away better teams.Roy Keane said last night they need an entirely new back four, but theyve already spent fortunes!3

Roy Keane was fuming at the United players following their Manchester derby defeat

Former Man United captain Keane was ruthless in his assessment of the current team following the game.Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, the Irishman raged at Paul Pogba, accused Fred of cheating and said the United squad is full of bluffers who will throw Ole under the bus.Who are those bluffers?I think hes having a wee go at effectively the vast majority of them, said McCoist.There are players not doing their jobs, letting runners go.I would guess hes having a go at the likes of Paul Pogba, Fred, Romelu Lukaku, boys like that, but how many do you want to name?3

Manchester United were outclassed by City at Old Trafford

Another boy who disappointed me last night when he came on was Anthony Martial. Youre looking for a reaction!Alexis Sanchez, I dont know whats happened to him, I really dont.He was an excellent player at Arsenal, and I dont have a problem with him being a loner, but I have a problem with the lad not going out and earning his pay packing and not giving everything for his team. Theres seriously a problem there.But in my mind, who is Roy Keane talking about? Probably about 90 per cent of the squad.

Lost 7 of their last 9 games No clean sheet in last 12 games No goals in open play for 8 hours Same amount of goals in April as @ShaneLong7Ally McCoist & Alan Brazil discuss #MUFC's "bluffers" and when they can challenge for the title again Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/f0x3vwb1Js— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) April 25, 2019
