Keane warns United must embrace change to prosper

Roy Keane reckons Manchester United’s current difficulties also represent an opportunity for his old club — as long as they are prepared to embrace change.

“I think Man United need five or six players,” said Ireland’s assistant manager. “If it happens in the summer, then instead of being fearful of it, embrace it — it’s exciting. These can be exciting times for Man United. Get them back to the very top where they belong. They’ve kind of cut corners in terms of transfers in the last few years, they’ve not gone out and got the big players, and it’s just caught up with them this year.”

And though Keane doesn’t see United claiming the Champions League this season, he reckons they can still be a threat in the competition.
