  • This is my guess. If it's a pure Gueye stupid pass, I doubt he would react like this. It's not his first time to miscue pass and cost a transtition or goal. And he did act like that in the past. They must have drilled to pass in tight space when pressured. Gueye was just doing what's been practised because the pass was towards where the opening was. But Keane was not on the same page. And it makes the pass looks completely stupid. Gueye therefore got mad with Keane. But no matter what, it's never acceptable to slap someone. So I'm glad he apologised to everyone so all can move on....

The midfielder became the first Premier League player to be dismissed for striking a teammate in 17 years when slapping Michael Keane at Old Trafford.

Gueye did not get an opportunity to speak to Moyes or his teammates at half-time. Afterwards, with the away dressing room on a high following the 1-0 win, the Senegal international asked to address the entire group as well as Keane specifically. Gueye apologised to the defender for slapping him across the face. Their heated 13th-minute altercation followed the midfielder’s misplaced pass inside his own penalty area, which ...
