Keane: Moyes deserves time at United

Roy Keane believes that Manchester United should stick by embattled manager David Moyes but predicts that things will almost certainly get worse before they get better for the club.

Keane, who attended the three-nil loss to Manchester City at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, said: “It’s tough going for United at the moment. It’s not a lack of effort, I’ve seen a few of their games. They’ve lost a bit of confidence. They’re human beings. But it’s not going to get any easier in the next couple of months.

“There’s a bit more pain to come. If they play against Bayern Munich like they have in the last two weeks then they’ll be in massive, massive trouble. At the Liverpool game, I thought United would be okay but they never turned up. Against City, I thought they’d be alright and they never turned up — my God they better turn up next Tuesday night.”
