Keown spoke after a disheartening 3-0 loss for the Red Devils to Tottenham at home.
In his role as a pundit, Keown said: “I'm looking at Van Nistelrooy. Is he giving everything to this manager? This manager looks very lonely on the sideline.
“Is Van Nistelrooy waiting to take over? Because it looks as if there's going to be change taking place there.
“Is everyone adding to the group? I'm not seeing that from Van Nistelrooy. Ten Hag is just sitting there, nothing going on, no conversation. Pep (Guardiola) goes back and speaks to the gurus next to him.
“Is everybody looking in the mirror at themselves giving their best?”
