Manchester United players are very scared of an EPL challenge this season, Roy Keane has said. He recently revealed that MUFC clearly lacked belief that they could go to the Emirates stadium to beat Arsenal.
According to him, there is no excuse for not taking advantage of a depleted Arsenal team because Ole’s boys lacked intensity for the full 90 minutes.
He added that it is obvious that MUFC players never expected to be close to the top at this stage of the season, so a challenge seems strange to them.
His words, “I’m scratching my head with United really. The worry for me watching them today, they almost lacked the belief they could go and win the game,”
“It’s Man United, you’re looking at Arsenal who are missing a few players, I know that doesn’t guarantee you can win football matches, but the game was there for the taking. Imagine being Man United and lacking belief you can win a game of football. Overall their performance lacked that intensity.”
“We can make excuses. We said at Sheffield United they slipped up, there’s no supporters at the stadiums, lots of fixtures, but a real lack of quality today from Man United and a real lack of conviction and desire to take the game to Arsenal. Arsenal deserved the draw at least.”
“People are saying: ‘Can you win the league and compete with Man City?’ It’s looks as if the players are frightened of the challenge and think: ‘I don’t think we’re ready for that’.”
