Keane warning for United

Roy Keane has told his Manchester United team-mates to raise their game and win every league match between now and the end of the season.

With Arsenal consolidating their position at the top by whipping Manchester City yesterday, United are now five points adrift in the title race.

Curiously manager Alex Ferguson has seen his side stumble to teams in the bottom half of the league like Bolton, who are desperate to maintain their top-flight status.

After the splendid victory over Juventus in the Champions League, United lost their way at the Reebok Stadium.

It is a situation Old Trafford captain Keane is anxious to remedy in the coming weeks.

“In the Premiership you can’t take anything for granted – but no doubt we will look back at only taking one point from Bolton over two games, “ he told MUTV.

“You would be looking to take more from these two games if you want to win the title.

“At this stage of the season we need to win every game to keep the pressure on Arsenal.

“We made that many mistakes early in the season we can’t afford any more. It is definitely two points dropped against Bolton.”
