We've our strongest squad yet, says Keane

ROY KEANE says the current Manchester United squad is the strongest he's known at Old Trafford.

Alex Ferguson was criticised for off-loading David Beckham to Real Madrid and Juan Veron to Chelsea, but he's brought in five new faces and Keane believes, once again, the Boss has got it right as the champions begin their new campaign at home to Bolton today.

"The new arrivals are probably what we needed if we are going to challenge for trophies," Keane told MUTV. "Towards the back end of the Champions League we had the weakest squad of all in terms of numbers and we had to make sure it didn't happen again.
