Roy Keane: Theyve kind of cut corners in terms of transfers in the last few years, theyve not gone out and got the big players, and its just caught up with them this year. I think Man United need five or six players. If it happens in the summer then instead of being fearful of it, embrace it – its exciting. These can be exciting times for Man United. Get them back to the very top where they belong. Theres always something to play for. Youve always got to win your next football match so if youre telling me in January that your season is over, or when the Champions League starts, thats nonsense. Youre playing for pride, youre playing for points, and United, if they do go out of the Champions League, still want to get in it next year. I think beating Olympiacos will be the priority. On form at this moment in time you have to say the Champions League is a long way off for Manchester United. But lots will change over the next few months. I think United will beat Olympiacos, Keane said. Theyll have Wayne Wazza Rooney, Van Persie back after injuries. At this moment in time, would I fancy United for the Champions League? Probably not. But theyre still a threat, theyre still there. Big team, big players and in a couple of months time when the big players are back up to speed with their fitness United will be a dangerous team. Watching United more closely perhaps than other people, you still think the Van Persies and the Rooneys if theyre at it, will be a threat to the competition. I still think United can be dangerous if they get their act together over the next month or two. Keane also felt that David Moyes needed to be given breathing space to make his mark on the side. I think the man deserves plenty of time. I think people have been afraid to use the word that there might be rebuilding going on but thats exactly the word I would use.
