After a scathing attack on Declan Rice in particular, the Irishman went on to criticise West Ham's passive defending and attitude.
"They're having a little discussion, like they're in Starbucks," he urged. "Come and take people out - come with violence. That's your job!
"Defensively West Ham were shocking. Absolutely useless second half. They gave up three goals. Give United all the credit for the reaction, we said that at half time, the really good teams find a way to win.
"That's what they've done tonight. Set piece delivery, we saw that at the weekend. Contribution from subs, Fred scoring (this time). No surprises what we've seen tonight.
"The two lads here (Joe Cole and Ian Wright) are obviously happy with West Ham's performance tonight. But honestly, it's laughable."
Keane claimed that West Ham resembled the 'Spurs' of this world' during the 3-1 defeat, exciting fans with a hopeful performance before stumbling to a defeat as a result of poor defending and missed chances.
"I've seen it all before. They come, get a bit giddy, have opportunities," Keane insisted after the match.
"Loads of teams do it, not just West Ham. The Spurs' of this world. They come to Old Trafford, have a little bit of possession, have two chances and are all excited. They get plaudits and then end up getting beaten."
