Curtis Woodhouse has strongly criticised Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier and Sheffield United custodian Aaron Ramsdale on Twitter.

The former Blades midfielder is not a fan of either goalkeeper and has brutally mocked them.

When asked who he would sign in the long term, 20-year-old Meslier or 22-year-old Ramsdale, Woodhouse said neither and gave a very brutal verdict on both.

Harsh on Illan Meslier and Aaron Ramsdale?

Meslier made a very bad mistake during Leeds’s defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League at the weekend.

Ramsdale actually did well between the posts during United’s loss at the hands of West Ham United on Monday evening, denying Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard.

The 22-year-old has not always had the best of times between the posts this season, but he is very young and still learning his trade.

Meslier is only 20, and playing as the first-choice goalkeeper for a big and demanding club such as Leeds is not easy.

The Frenchman will make mistakes, as will Ramsdale, but perhaps in the coming years, they will become better goalkeepers with experience.
