Roy Keane again says David Moyes needs time (and new signings)
“I don’t know where you start. They need a number of players. Defensively, there are players leaving and I don’t think it helps Nemanja Vidic is going, people are talking about Patrice Evra and obviously Rio and Giggsy are coming to an end. They are lacking a few leaders at the moment and I don’t think they have that type of player in the group. But I think United will be all right and David Moyes will get plenty of time. The man deserves it.”
Roy Keane says the senior players need to do more
“He’s got vast experience, but his staff – Steve Round and Phil Neville – and a couple of senior players, Rio and Giggsy, they have to step up to the plate. One or two of the new players are getting criticism, but it’s up to the players who have been there a few years who know what United are about. We had tough days. We ground out results, we survived a few times, we got lucky breaks. When we won the league in 1996, at Newcastle we could have been five nil down at half-time, yet we ended up winning with Eric Cantona nicking a goal. You need defining moments, but this team will not find it because they don’t have it in the group.”
Roy Keane says United lack passion
“You have got to have that passion. There's no problem losing football matches, but you can lose in a good way. The way United have lost the last few games has been more upsetting than anything else. They have to get certain players in, certain characters to make sure they battle for every minute of every game. There are players leaving. I don't think that helps. When I played at United very rarely did a player leave the club. We're seeing that with Vidic, there's talk about Evra and obviously Rio and Giggsy are coming to an end."
Roy Keane expects more pain on Tuesday
"It's not going to get any easier in next couple of months with a bit more pain to come, against Bayern Munich next Tuesday.”
