Although his new job might be temporary with only in charge until the end of the season, legend believes the former defender is not qualified enough.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, the former Ireland captain blasted the decision to give him the job.
Keane said: “Jonny Evans leaves Man Utd four or five weeks ago as a loans manager and then Fletch gives him the job, strangely enough, and has two games.
“Fletch goes and Carrick gives him the job. Great, isn’t it?
“We should all go to Barbados for a week… If you’re on about getting coaching staff in, we’re praising one of them and we just let the other two go – Jonathan Woodgate and Jonny Evans.
“What has Jonny Evans done to be a coach at Man Utd’s first team?

“That’s a big step up, isn’t it?”
Keane’s rant came after said that he was pleased with the appointment of Steve Holland as Carrick’s assistant coach.
The United icon continued: “I wish we were sitting here and you said he brought three staff in and you reeled them off and said they’re all brilliant.”
He later concluded by saying to Neville: “You said you don’t know anything about Jonny Evans coaching… because he’s never coached! That’s my point!
“But he’s gone into Man Utd and you’re going, ‘oh that’s okay because we’ve got Stevie Holland,’ A new guru!”
Fletcher dropped vital points in his first United game as caretaker head coach last Wednesday.
