Manchester United do not have the quality required to compete for the Premier League title as yet.
That is the opinion of club legend and former captain Roy Keane.
The Irishman was speaking after United’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
“I think the last few days have been difficult with the dropping points last minute against Palace and the defeat today, so yeah that’s what the game does to you,” he said on Sky Sports.
“United weren’t at their best, but you think they could have hung on for the draw, take a point and move on, but it goes back to where United made progress.
“But then come the end of the game Shaw’s still at left-back – question marks over him – Wan-Bissaka, Fred’s back in midfield, McTominay, it’s as if United haven’t moved on from their problems of the past.
“I’m not just blaming those players, because it was a tough game and you’ve got to give credit to Arsenal, but it is a reality check. I’ve said it the last few weeks: United are well short.”
