Roy Keane said: “I’m really saddened by what I’ve seen of United over the last year or two. It’s like a bunch of strangers have been thrown together. When you play for United and you put that jersey on, I always felt 10-foot tall. But when you see these players, some of them look like they’re shrinking with the jersey on, whether it is the pressure or not. If you’re playing for United, you have to deal with that pressure and expectation and this group of players are certainly struggling.”

Keane continued: “I know they have had injuries. It goes to show how important Wayne Rooney is to this club. I’m looking at the characters. Where are the leaders in this group? Even tonight when they weren’t quite at it and were chasing, trying to get back into the game.Liverpool could’ve scored five or six goals easily.”

“You have to use your head and your brain. That is where the leaders and characters come into it and we’re not seeing it,” he concluded

Keane was a dominating defensive midfielder, noted for his aggressive and highly competitive style of play, an attitude that helped him excel as captain of Manchester United from 1997 until his departure in 2005.
