Manchester United legend Roy Keane slammed the performance of Danny Rose for England's World Cup defeat to Belgium.

Keane branded Danny Rose's defending "sloppy and lazy" after the England star was beaten to the ball by Belgium's Thomas Meunier for the opening goal in the World Cup third-place playoff.

Meunier struck after just four minutes to put Belgium on their way to a 2-0 success in Saint Petersburg , with Eden Hazard adding the second late on as England's campaign ended with a whimper.

"They [Belgium] started the game a lot brighter, and they look like they can score at ease," said the former Irish international at half-time.

"England obviously gave a shocking goal away. It was sloppy, lazy defending.

"They eventually got a foothold on the game and the first chance fell to Kane after 23 minutes, but it was really lazy defending.

"When you look at Rose's defending as well as the centre halves he's never going to learn about the game.

"If he doesn't know that at 28 years of age he's in trouble."
