Manchester United legend Roy Keane has slammed Chelsea captain Reece James for not sprinting back to stop Luis Diaz scoring against Chelsea.

On the opening weekend of the Premier League season, Liverpool visited Stamford Bridge as the points were shared as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Speaking after the game, Keane said: “James is looking at him running off him.

“He’ll argue afterwards saying, ‘Oh, I’m a wing-back and that’s not my job.

“But he sees him running and you have to sprint back like your life depends on it.

“I don’t get it as brilliant as James is – listen I love him to bits think he’s a brilliant player particularly going forward – but when you see someone running off the back of you, you sprint. You sprint. No excuses.”

Keane added: “He might as well stop and have a cup of tea.

“You’ve got to sprit back because you never know what might happen. He might take a bad touch.”
