Result a building block for title success, says Keane

MANCHESTER UNITED skipper Roy Keane reckons the Red Devils might look back on Sunday’s ‘average’ display against Newcastle and feel it was the one which won them another Premiership title.

The Old Trafford outfit were unable to break down a Magpies defence marshalled superbly by Jonathan Woodgate and appeared to run out of ideas long before the game ended in a goalless stalemate.

While some believe United’s lack of cutting edge emphasises why is Alex Ferguson is poised to swoop in the January transfer window and recruit a new striker as back-up to van Nistelrooy, Keane adopted a more philosophical stance.
