Keane: Hard work watching this Man Utd team

Manchester United legend Roy Keane is having a tough time watching his former side.

The Red Devils were unable to maintain their one-goal lead over Arsenal on Monday night, eventually walking away with a point.

And Keane says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team is lacking quality.

"It's hard work watching them, but I bet it's hard work for the players too," Keane told Sky Sports .

"It's just not happening, but you have to persevere, you have to stick at it, and hopefully things will change.

"But they have to get a big result soon, just to give the players a bit of confidence."

He added: "We talk about winning games consistently, we talk about getting momentum into your team.

"The effort was there, but there was a real lack of quality. United could have won it 2-0, 3-0, but Arsenal deserve a little bit of credit, they responded well at half time.

"But belief, confidence, a combination of those things is needed.

"United aren't cutting teams open, they get the goal really from a counter attack, and that's where the team are at the moment."
